COLOMBO, April 27 (Xinhua) -- Over 100 suspects have been arrested since last Sunday's explosions which targeted churches and luxury hotels in Sri Lanka, killing over 250 people and injuring over 500, police said on Saturday.

Police spokesperson SP Ruwan Gunasekara said that 20 suspects had been arrested in search operations conducted within the last 24 hours, and raids were ongoing to search for more.

The suspects had been arrested from across the island, he added.

Police re-imposed a curfew for the seventh consecutive day, as abandoned explosives continued to be found.
