After three major suicide attacks in three churches that rocked Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world, Police has revealed some shocking information about the children and young adults who were involved in the act. Police said that these people isolated themselves and willingly confined to a tightly knit circle of militant Islamists. Apparently they were keen to make sure that people don’t lose their focus off the job, as a last minute thought can often change their mind when it comes to pulling off such disastrous acts.

In the blast in Surabaya’s churches it was a family of six that killed at least 13 people by blowing themselves up.”These children have been indoctrinated by their parents. It seems they did not interact much with others,” said East Java Police Chief Machfud Arifin.
Meanwhile in Sidoarjo near Surabaya , Police recovered pipe bombs in an apartment where a blast killed three members of a family allegedly making bombs. Three children survived in that blast had told Police that they had only interacted with parents and adults of similar ideology. They also had prayer circles with adults. The fathers of the families involved in the suicide bombing and the one in the apartment were friends.
Police thinks the attacks are carried out by a cell of the group Jemaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD), an umbrella organisation on a US State Department terrorist list that is reckoned to have drawn hundreds of Indonesian sympathisers of Islamic State.
