The United States and its allies will have to contend with extremist, Islamist terrorism for perhaps decades to come.
The terror attacks in Sri Lanka hit home with the death of 11-year-old U.S. student Kieran Shafritz de Zoysa.
Coffins of victims are carried during a mass for victims, two days after a string of suicide bomb attacks on churches and luxury hotels across the island on Easter Sunday, in Colombo, Sri Lanka April 23, 2019.On Wednesday afternoon this week, fifth grade students of Sidwell Friends Middle School walked down Wisconsin Avenue to the Washington National Cathedral to say goodbye to one of their own.
The pastor couldn't help them. "How did this happen? Why did this happen? These are the questions that haunt us," said the Rev. Randolph Marshall Hollerith, dean of Washington National Cathedral. "Why God allows such tragic events to take place, I do not know." On Monday, just two days before Kieran's funeral, the so-called Islamic State released a video of its leader and the world's most wanted man, Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, signaling this new challenge.
