    Sri Lankan officials have revised the death toll from the Easter Sunday bombings down by about 100

    Sri Lankan officials have revised the death toll from the Easter Sunday bombings down by about 100


    Authorities have blamed the difficulty in identifying body parts at bomb scenes for the earlier inaccurate number.

    They now believe 253 people died in the bombings.

    The government has admitted a major intelligence lapse, after failing to act on warnings of an attack.
