Sri Lanka's military says that 52 people have been arrested in connection with two bus bombings that killed 23 passengers and wounded dozens.
Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara, a military spokesman, said that 51 suspected fighters were picked up on around Moratuwa, a suburb of the Sri Lankan capital Colombo where Friday's first attack took place.
Another suspect was arrested in the central district of Kandy, where the second blast killed two passengers, he said.
