Indonesia: 14 injured in Palm Sunday suicide bomb attack on church
At least 14 people have been injured after a suicide bomb attack on a church in Indonesia on Palm Sunday.
The attack happened at the Roman Catholic Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral in Makassar, on Sulawesi, at about 10:30 local time (03:30 GMT).
The cathedral was targeted as people were leaving a service for Palm Sunday, which commemorates Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem before his crucifixion and marks the start of Holy Week.
The BBC reports that two attackers approached the church on motorbikes and that the explosion happened as they tried to enter the compound.
They were the only fatality in the attack which has been blamed on extremists, although no particular group has claimed responsibility yet.
