Police in Indonesia say suicide bombers have struck three churches in the city of Surabaya on the island of Java.

Officials say at least two people were killed and 13 others injured in a blast Sunday in front of the Santa Maria Catholic Church.

There was no immediate word about injuries at other sites.

Surabaya is Indonesia's second-largest city.


Debris is seen outside Santa Maria church, where an explosion went off in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia, May 13, 2018. Media reports say simultaneous attacks on churches in Indonesia's second largest city of Surabaya have left casualties.

Simultaneous bombings is an Al-Queida/ISIS calling card.

Remember the African embassies?

New Martyrs of Surabaya, pray for us!

I think Molech likes his sacrifices to be babies. That must be the liberal god, not the Islamic one.

Shouldn’t we wait for them to get settled into their new role before burdening them with our prayer requests?

Excuse me...how do you even imagine that I implied this was the fault of the greatest POTUS of all time?

“No terror group has claimed responsibility for the attacks. But former National Counterterrorism Agency (BNPT) chief Ansyaad Mbai said the bombings in Surabaya could be linked to the riot that occurred at a detention center at the National Police’s Mobile Brigade headquarters (Mako Brimob) in Depok, West Java.

“The mastermind behind these incidents might be the same,” he said during a phone interview with Kompas TV.

The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the riot incident at Mako Brimob, which led to the deaths of five members of the police’s elite counterterrorism squad, Densus 88, and a 36-hour standoff.”

“A witness reported that the alleged suicide bomber at GKI church was a woman who went to the church with two children.

“I heard two explosions, one was in the church’s parking lot and the other was outside the church. The woman was with two little boys,” Johanes, a member of the GKI congregation, told Kompas TV.

The police have yet to confirm Johanes’ statement.”

I have come to believe George W. Bush was and is either incredibly stupid or another lying, evil politician.

His two acts following the Twin Towers attack disgusted and alarmed me:proclaiming islam a religion of peace and creating the American police state Department of Homeland Security.
