We can certainly rule out #LTTE hand in this (whatever that's left) as it specifically targeted the Catholic churches and foreigners.
This looks like a hand of the Islamic outfits.

And the number of foreigners dead will also be big once all are identified.
It's sad that in the last decade, sans all the fighting, #SriLanka emerged as one of the top tourist destinations in the world.
Nations like India, US and others who are always in danger of such radical outfits.
A decade ago, they fought and eliminated a known enemy. But this is a new one for them!
How many more are we actually looking at !?
If this gets proven, I'm sure they will also have links with some outfits in Tamil Nadu(India).

If the NTJ link is true, this could be one of the strong reasons for their polarisation.
We can't rule out possible NTJ - ISIS links too.
Interestingly, Pakistan was the first country to call this a terror attack. Even before Srilanka confirmed.
Did #Pakistan have prior intelligence or is it the lack of it !?
Confirmation awaited.
