Suspected Suicide Bombing Rocks Catholic Church in Indonesia
Two suspected suicide bombers blew themselves up outside a Catholic church in Makassar, the provincial capital of South Sulawesi, during a Palm Sunday Mass, wounding at least 19 people. Indonesian police said that the suicide bombers were intercepted by security at the gate to the church compound and then the bomb exploded. Dr Noor Huda Ismail, a Visiting Fellow at RSIS said the explosion at the Catholic cathedral in Makassar was not a new trend, but rather “a continuation and disturbing trend in Indonesia.
