Islamic State claims deadly Indonesia church attacks
The Islamic State group was responsible for suicide attacks against three churches in Indonesia that killed at least 11 people on Sunday, it says via its propaganda agency Amaq.
“Three martyrdom attacks killed 11 and wounded at least 41 among church guards and Christians,” it says via the Telegram messaging app.
The jihadist group’s toll tallied with that of police following the seemingly coordinated attacks against three churches in the city of Surabaya at around 7:30 a.m. local time.
IS has claimed responsibility for several recent attacks in Indonesia, most of them carried out by its affiliate Jamaah Ansharut Daulah.
