The secretary general of the world's largest organization of Muslim nations has condemned the attacks in Sri Lanka that killed more than 200 people on Easter Sunday.
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation's chief Yousef al-Othaimeen described them as "cowardly attacks" that targeted innocent worshippers and civilians. Some 57 nations are part of the OIC, which is headquartered in Saudi Arabia's Red Sea city of Jiddah.
Saudi Arabia also denounced the attacks in Sri Lanka and described them as "terrorist explosions," saying the kingdom extends its condolences to the families of the victims and the people of Sri Lanka.
Earlier Sunday, other Arab Gulf nations issued similar statements condemning the attack.
