One suicide bomber appeared to have been disguised as a churchgoer. Another drove a Toyota minivan to one attack site. Still another was seen in footage speeding on a scooter before exploding.<\/p>\n
When the smoke cleared from the back-to-back bombings, which targeted three churches in Surabaya, Indonesia\u2019s second-largest city, as worshipers gathered between services on Sunday morning, the police said it had been the work of one family: a couple who had led their four children in a rampage that took their own lives and killed at least seven other people.<\/p>\n
The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attacks, according to the group\u2019s news agency Amaq. In an initial bulletin, the group described each of the back-to-back bombings as a \u201cmartyrdom\u201d operation. In a subsequent, longer media release, the group identified three modes of attack, including a car bomb, a suicide vest and a motorcycle-borne bomb.<\/p>\n
