Two sons of a wealthy spice trader carried out suicide blasts in the Sri Lanka terror attacks on Easter Sunday, it has been claimed.
The Muslim brothers, whose names have not been revealed, blew themselves up as guests queued for breakfast at the Shangri-La and Cinnamon Grand hotels in the capital.
They were in their late twenties and operated their own 'family cell', an investigation officer said as Sri Lankan police continue to probe the bombings that killed 321 people. It is not known where their parents are.
ISIS have released an image of the suspected suicide bombers. It is unclear which two in the group are the brothers. Pictured centre is purported National Thowfeek Jamaath leader Moulvi Zahran Hashim.

One brother gave false identity details when he checked into the hotel, but the other gave a real address which led police commandos to their family home in a commercial area of Colombo.
When the Special Task Force went to the house to investigate, one brother's wife set off a bomb, killing herself and her two children, according to police sources.
Three police commandos were killed in the blast, and several extended family members are among those in detention.
'It was a single terror cell operated by one family,' the investigator said. 'They had the cash and the motivation. They operated the cell and it is believed they influenced their extended family.'

'What we have gathered so far is that they had indicated to their close family what they were going to do,' another senior police officer said.
'It looks like they were inspired by foreign terrorist groups, but to what extent they had direct links is still unclear.'
The brothers had been involved in their father's lucrative Colombo spice export business, investigators said.
A focus of the inquiry will be to find out whether there was a foreign influence in their radicalisation and how the children of such a wealthy family had become involved, an official source said.
The pair were key members of the Islamist National Thowheeth Jama'ath (NTJ) group, the official added.
