Video shows suspected suicide bomber entering Sri Lanka church
The explosion in Negombo was the deadliest of a series of co-ordinated attacks on Easter Sunday.
CCTV footage has emerged of a suspected suicide bomber entering St Sebastian's Church in Negombo moments before an explosion ripped through the building.
The Archbishop of Colombo, Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith, said at least 110 people were killed at St Sebastian's, the deadliest of a series of attacks against churches and luxury hotels that left at least 321 people dead.
The footage, broadcast widely on Sri Lankan news channels, tracks the movements of a young bearded man with a backpack, outside the building.
The same man is then picked up on St Sebastian's internal cameras entering the church packed with Easter Sunday worshippers.
The video stops before the bomb is detonated. Pictures of the aftermath of the explosion show blood-stained pews, the roof ripped off and knocked out doors and windows.
