In his first televised address since a series of bombings on Sunday killed at least 321 people, President Maithripala Sirisena promised to restructure the military and police over failure to act on warnings that the attacks were being planned.
“I must be truthful and admit that there were lapses on the part of defense officials,” the president said.
