Indonesian police have identified the suspects in Sunday’s church suicide bombing as a recently married couple with suspected jihadist ties. Families have been involved in some major terrorist attacks in the region.

The explosion occurred outside a Roman Catholic church in the city of Makassar after two people entered the churchyard on a motorbike and were prevented from entering by security guards. The blast left 20 people injured and killed the attackers. It happened shortly after a Palm Sunday Mass service was held inside the Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral.

The perpetrators were identified as a couple living in the same city who got married six months ago, National Police spokesperson Argo Yuwono revealed on Monday. Lab tests matched the male’s DNA to that of his relatives and confirmed the female’s identity via fingerprints. The police only gave the initials of the man, L, and his wife, YSF, but local media pinpointed the young couple’s residence and spoke to neighbors.

Police say the couple are believed to have had links to Jamaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD), an Indonesian jihadist group linked to Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS). The group has been responsible for a number of terrorist attacks in Indonesia and elsewhere in the region.

One of their highest-profile atrocities was a series of bombings in the city of Surabaya, the capital of Indonesia’s East Java province. Three bombs targeted Catholic churches, while one was set off by accident at a perpetrator’s residence and another exploded when police stopped two members of the group for a check. Three families were behind the spree of violence and included their children – as young as seven – in the attacks, investigators reported….

The people should be warned about evil of religion.
You are suppose to serve God by doing good but many discard this and serve and listen to vile clerics and people with evil intent and mischief.
There is no place for clerics in the belief in God alone. You do not need them. Use your common sense if you have to. Do not fall under influence of those who were never appointed.
The East and the West belong to God. Whichever way you turn, there is the Face of God. God is all pervading and all knowing. [Quran, 2:115].
He said, I will go to my Lord; He is sure to guide me. [Quran, 37:99]

JAKARTA: A woman was shot dead by Indonesian police in a gunfight at the force's national headquarters in Jakarta on Wednesday afternoon (Mar 31).

The 25-year-old was a "lone wolf" who believed in Islamic State ideology, police chief Listyo Sigit Prabowo told a news conference late on Wednesday.

At around 4.30pm, the woman walked towards the main gate of the building. "She fired six shots and police retaliated," Prabowo said.

In her final Instagram post before the attack, she posted an image of the IS flag, he said, adding that the authorities have found her will at her home. She had also messaged her family to say goodbye over WhatsApp.

The police are looking into the possibility that she may have been part of a network.

"I have instructed Densus 88 to investigate (a) possible link between the suspect and a (terror) network," Prabowo said, referring to Indonesia's counter-terrorism unit.

"I have instructed my men to continue to provide public services but stay vigilant and increase security both at their headquarters and on the field," he added.

Earlier, major TV broadcasters aired images that showed what appeared to be a person wearing a blue veil and long black clothes entering the complex as gunshots rang out.

The lone figure fell to the ground and lay motionless afterward as police surrounded the body, the images showed. It was not immediately clear if the individual was armed.

Kompas TV and Metro TV said the individual seen entering the compound was a woman. TV One said one person at the scene was dead and gunfire had been exchanged.

When CNA arrived at the scene, armed personnel could be seen guarding the compound. Crime scene investigators were also seen entering the building.

Loud sirens could be heard as several bomb squad vehicles arrived at the building.

Police outposts have been frequent targets of Indonesian extremists in the past.

The exchange at the police headquarters in downtown Jakarta came three days after a husband and wife carried out a suicide bombing at a cathedral in Makassar on Sulawesi island on Palm Sunday, wounding 20 and killing only themselves.
