Buddhists have in the recent past targeted non-Buddhists in Sri Lanka, albeit previously Muslims were their primary target, so until we have actual knowledge of who did it, assuming that a Muslim group definitely did it is premature. Moreover, given the nature of Sri Lankan politics, I think it is safe to assume that as soon as any evidence that a non-local group was responsible becomes known to the authorities, it will be released, and so far the only thing I see allocating responsibility are European websites based on ten-day old rumors. I'll wait until there are actual facts instead of rumors to allocate blame for these attacks.

Sri Lankan officials have indicated they believe a local jihadist group with foreign support was responsible.

The most prominent victims appear to be three of the four children of a Danish clothing magnate.

ISIL claims responsibility for every crime that seems to be Islamist-related, regardless of whether they had anything to do with it or not. Focusing on organizations instead of ideology and the circumstances that lead to radicalization is a mistake we need to stop making. ISIL is not the disease, but the symptom.
