Toll hits 290, Lanka anxious over what's to come

Eight apparently co-ordinated explosions targeted Easter worshippers and high end hotels popular with international guests. The horrific death toll, which has risen dramatically overnight, was given on Monday morning by a police spokesman, who said a further 500 people had been wounded. A nationwide curfew imposed shortly after the blasts was lifted early Monday.
