JAKARTA - The world was shocked on Sunday to learn that an Indonesian couple had involved their four children, one of whom was just nine years old, in a coordinated suicide attack on three churches across Surabaya.
The church bombings in Indonesia's second largest city claimed 18 lives, including the family of six who mounted the strike, and injured more than 40.
