One of the attackers behind the Easter Sunday bombings in Sri Lanka once studied in the UK, officials say, as further details on the bombers emerge.
He visited south-east England in 2006-7 to study but did not complete a full university degree, a senior Whitehall official told the BBC.
The attacker later did a course in Australia, Sri Lanka’s deputy defence minister said.
The death toll has risen to 359, with more than 500 people wounded.
Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has said the Islamic State (IS) group may be linked to the blasts.
IS has said it carried out the attacks, which targeted churches and high-end hotels, although it did not provide direct evidence of its involvement.
In another development, Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena replaced Defence Secretary Hemasiri Fernando and took steps to sack the Inspector General of Police, Pujith Jayasundara.
