2018-05-15 4

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. A spokesman said the child survived the explosion, and CCTV footage showed a child stumbling around in the aftermath.
