Russian Security Council Deputy Secretary Yuri Kokov states that the Sri Lanka terrorist attacks were organized by the militants of the Islamic State, formerly active in Syria and Iraq.
Russian Security Council Deputy Secretary stated this at the Tenth International Meeting of High-Level Representatives on Security Issues in the Russian city of Ufa.
He said the practical organization of the explosions was set up by the members of a local radical group who returned to Sri Lanka after fighting on the side of the IS in Syria and Iraq.
According to Kokov, currently, the main centers of terrorist activity are the Middle East, Africa, South and South-East Asia.
