Fifteen people including six children were killed in Sri Lanka yesterday when suspected Islamist militants blew themselves up in a raid.

The raid occurred near the hometown of the suspected ringleader of the Easter Sunday attacks that killed at least 250 people.

Gunmen opened fire as troops attempted to raid a house.

Three men set off explosives killing the children and three women.

Three others died in the gunfire.

One civilian was caught in the crossfire and died.
