一家で自爆 - Living, Loving, Thinking, Again

“Surabaya: Suicide bombers attack Indonesia police headquarters” http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-44105279

５月13日にインドネシアのスラバヤで基督教会が自爆テロ攻撃を被ったことに関して。この記事自体は、その翌日に対教会テロに呼応したのか、スラバヤの警察署が自爆テロ攻撃を受けたというもの。

Police have said the family who carried them out were among hundreds of Indonesians who had returned from Syria, where IS has been fighting government forces. No details were given about the family's alleged involvement in that conflict.
The father has been identified as Dita Oepriarto. Police say he was the head of local branch of Jemaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD), and Indonesian IS-inspired network.
In the first attack, the sons - aged 16 and 18 - rode motorcycles into Santa Maria Catholic Church at around 07:30 local time (00:30 GMT) and detonated explosives they were carrying.
The father then reportedly dropped off his wife, Puji Kuswati, and their two daughters at Diponegoro Indonesian Christian Church, where they blew themselves up. The girls - aged nine and 12 - had bombs strapped to them, as did their mother.
Oepriarto then drove off, launching his own bomb-laden car into the grounds of Surabaya Centre Pentecostal Church, police said.
Thirteen people were killed and more than 40 injured, making it the deadliest attack in Indonesia in more than a decade.
The South East Asian country has long struggled with Islamist militancy. Its worst ever terror attack was in Bali in 2002, when 202 people - mostly foreigners - were killed in an attack on a tourist nightlife district*1.

やはり驚いたのは、このテロが家族の仕事であったことだ。一家はシリア帰り；

さて、「スラバヤ」ということで、ブレヒト／クルト・ヴァイルの「スラバヤ・ジョニー」を思い出してしまったのだが*2（笑）、教会へのテロということで想起したのは、2016年７月に仏蘭西ノルマンディのSaint-Étienne-du-Rouvray町で起きた事件*3。
