SURABAYA, Indonesia - A family of Islamist militants in Indonesia carried an eight-year-old into a suicide bomb attack against police in Surabaya on Monday, a day after another militant family killed 13 people in suicide attacks on three churches in the same city.

The suicide bombers rode two motorbikes up to a checkpoint outside a police station and blew themselves up, police chief Tito Karnavian told a news conference in Indonesia’s second-largest city.

He said the child survived the explosion, and CCTV footage showed the girl stumbling around in the aftermath.

“We hope the child will recover. We believe she was thrown 3 meters (10 ft) or so up into the air by the impact of the explosion and then fell to the ground,” said Mangera.

Security experts said the attacks represented the first time in Indonesia that children had been used by militants on a suicide mission.

Can’t even say it was muslims behaving badly because that’s typical muslim behavior. And did you notice how they stayed away from the word muslim. They use militants in it’s place and several paragraphs down you see the word Islamic. They try so hard to cover for people who kill them.

*slam is the only ideology in the world that is able to change a normal mother who loves and protects her kids into a fanatical savage who willingly blows the kids up in order to kill people. That alone is proof that the ideology must be outlawed in any civilized country.
