News Wrap: Catholic clergy in Sri Lanka demand crackdown on Islamic extremists

In our Monday news wrap, Catholic clergy in Sri Lanka are demanding a crackdown on Islamic extremists after the Easter bombings that killed more than 250 people. Security forces continued to search for suspects amid calls for tougher action. Also, the U.S. military has fired the commander overseeing terror detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, citing a “loss of confidence in his ability to command.”
