Indonesia – Three Christian churches targeted in three suicide bombings. ISIS claims responsibility

Three Sunday church bombings in Indonesia killed at least seven people. These bombings were carried out by members of the same family, Indonesian police said.

A total of six suicide bombers targeted three Christian churches during services in Surabaya, the country’s second-largest city. The bombers were a family of six, police said, including daughters ages 12 and 9 accompanied by their mother. Two sons, ages 18 and 16, carried out one of the attacks on a motorcycle, and the father used an SUV for his attack.

All six family members died in the coordinated bombings, which wounded at least 40 people, police said, including on-duty police officers. The Islamic State militant group asserted responsibility for the attacks, according to the SITE Intelligence Group.
