The father and two brothers of the attacker believed to be behind the Sri Lanka bombings were killed when security forces stormed their hideout.
The information was provided by police sources and a relative of the murdered, reports B92.
Zaine and Rilwan Hashim, and their father Mohammed, who called for total war against the infidels in a video on social media, were among 15 killed on Friday in a fierce firefight with the army, Reuters was told.
According to an AFP report, those people were killed when the terrorists, surrounded by troops, blew themselves up.
Three men detonated explosives and killed themselves, three women and six children.
It was later reported that one woman and one boy survived the explosion. According to reports, they are currently in hospital in a critical condition.
Attacker Zahran Hashim is believed to be the "mastermind" of the church and hotel bombings that killed more than 250 people.
By the way, the authorities were still searching locations linked to the attackers and found more weapons, bomb-making materials, as well as the flag of the Islamic State.
Islamic State previously claimed responsibility for the attack and said Hashim and his Islamist group NTJ had pledged allegiance to it.
