The death toll from Sri Lanka's Easter Sunday bombings has climbed past 300, and 500 wounded.


The Sri Lankan government believes the attacks were carried out by two local terror groups, with links to terror organisation IS. 

If true, it would be the largest attack carried out by the group outside Syria and Iraq.
