A would-be suicide bomber’s explosives failed to detonate in a packed church in western Indonesia during Sunday Mass, and he injured a priest with an axe before being restrained, police said.

The 18-year-old assailant left a bench and ran toward the priest at the altar, but a bomb in his backpack only burned without exploding, said national police spokesman Maj. Gen. Boy Rafli Amar.

The motive for the attack at the Roman Catholic St. Yoseph Church in Medan, the capital of North Sumatra province, was not clear, but the perpetrator carried a symbol indicating support for the Islamic State group.

coming soon to a church near you.

Hire armed guards or arm yourself.

[blam]

Have they figured out the perp’s motive yet?

[disndat]

It is clearly not clear.

Does the press have any idea that 99.99999999999% of us are on to them? And that none of us are buying what they are serving? Do they enjoy being complete parodies of actual news?

OH, GET OUT!

[disndat]

I think you are right. Sounds like he was teed off.

[DoughtyOne]

Motive?  They don't need no stinkin' motive!

We do know what it is though, and the media is just looking more pathetic hour by hour...

It’s unfortunate there were no clues to give us a possible motive for this attack.

Laz, they are truly unaware of how idiotic they are.

Managed to burn only himself with his pathetic little squib, before being taken down by people in the congregation.

Eighteen.

Disadvantaged youth, I suppose. Definitely disadvantaged in the intelligence dept.

[Twinkie]

Ours is a First Baptist Church. I strongly suspect that
many of our men are armed. I even suspect that FANG is
armed. I KNOW he is dangerous!

[af_vet_1981]

Grateful the terrorist was stopped without exploding his bombs.

[Does so]

“The motive for the attack ... was not clear,"

I'm a genius.

ALL moozlums want you and your family dead. Some will actively try to make it so. Good luck telling which is which. Stay armed.
