The UK is advising against all but essential travel to Sri Lanka after the Easter Sunday bombings in which about 250 people died. The Foreign Office says terrorists are very likely to try to carry out indiscriminate attacks there, including in places visited by foreigners. Eight Britons were among those killed by suicide bombers at churches and luxury hotels in the Sri Lankan capital Colombo, Negombo and Batticaloa. More than 500 people were injured. On Thursday, the Sri Lankan health ministry revised down the death toll by more than 100 to "about 253", blaming a calculation error. BBC diplomatic correspondent James Robbins said the UK government was now talking to the travel industry about helping the 8,000 British tourists believed to be in Sri Lanka if they decide they want to cut short their visits. The Foreign Office has issued advice to any Britons still in Sri Lanka: *Remain vigilant, keep up to date with developments and follow the advice of local security authorities and hotel security staff*Keep a low profile, avoid crowded public places, large gatherings, including religious gatherings and places of worship, and any demonstrations.*Avoid travelling during periods of curfew (other than to or from the airport)*Keep in touch with family and friends and make them aware of any plans you may have Police in Sri Lanka are continuing to carry out raids and have issued photographs of seven people wanted in connection with the attacks. So far, more than 70 people have been arrested. The authorities have blamed a local Islamist extremist group but say the bombers must have had outside help. The Islamic State group said it carried out the attacks but provided no direct evidence. Colombo Airport is operating but with increased security checks and long queues. Amy Goodman, 27, from Armagh in Northern Ireland, was due to go to Sri Lanka, Dubai and the Maldives in June for her honeymoon with fiancé, Ross Kernan. The couple had been booked to stay at the Cinnamon Grand in Colombo - one of the hotels which was bombed. But they have now cut out the Sri Lanka leg of her holiday - at the cost of £863 (€1,000). "To think that the hotel we were due to be staying in a few weeks time got bombed and that that could have been us doesn't bear thinking about," said trainee GP Ms Goodman. "It's been an emotional few days for us. I don't know how I would've felt travelling around Sri Lanka after what's happened. We could have been putting our lives at risk, anything could happen. "We've been really lucky and have managed to get our trip changed for a fee." Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said he hoped to be able to change the travel advice once the current security operation had concluded. "My first priority will always be the security of British citizens living and travelling abroad. "We all hope the situation will return to normal very soon, and that the Sri Lankan tourism industry is able to get back on its feet following the terrorist attacks. "We will do all we can to help the Sri Lankan authorities in the meantime," he added. AFP.
