Burj Khalifa lights up in solidarity with Sri Lanka

Dubai's iconic Burj Khalifa lit up in the colours of the Sri Lankan national flag to pay tribute to the victims of the Easter Sunday bombings.

As many as 253 people died after suicide bombers staged a coordinated attack on churches and luxury hotels on Easter Sunday.
