"People are always helping us with the donations so when the requirement comes, we have past experience also and people are very willingly to come and give blood."

Thirty-three year old Dasantha was at the site preparing to donate blood. "I was very upset when hearing the news," he said. "So I came to donate blood."

He considered himself lucky as none of his family members or friends got hurt. He suggested the government to catch up with the incident and have a thorough investigation so that such attacks won't happen again.

At St. Sebastian's church about 50 km from the capital of Colombo, Xinhua reporters saw the devastated main hall caused by the blast of a suicide bomber, with the roof completely ripped off, the stained glass windows shattered, and ground peeled off to show mud.
