Sri Lankan President Sirisena orders a fresh inquiry into the Easter suicide bombings after concerns from the Catholic Church that the current probe is not independent

Sirisena said the commission has wide judicial powers to gather evidence on those responsible for the bombings, and to probe security and intelligence lapses. While the newly-launched inquiry is being carried out by a cross-section of MPs, many opposition members are boycotting it. They say the commission is being used by political parties to deflect any responsibility for failing to stop the attacks.
