The Sri Lankan intelligence agency has received inputs of possible attacks on Buddhist temples by female bombers of the banned National Tawheed Jamaat (NTJ) after police found five sets of white attire commonly worn by Buddhists from a safe house in the east.

On March 29, Muslim women had spent 29,000 Sri Lankan rupees to purchase nine sets of such clothes from a textile shop. So far, five sets have been found and intelligence services are trying to find the remaining clothes. Sri Lankan authorities say that there was one women among the nine bombers who carried out the Sunday Easter bombings.
