Two families staged Indonesian suicide bombings, say police

  • The father of the church suicide bombers was a local leader in extremist network Jamaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD), which supports Daesh, and the second family was also linked to JAD.
  • Indonesia has long struggled with Islamist militancy, including the 2002 Bali bombings that killed more than 200 people in the country’s worst-ever terror attack.
