At least 11 people have been killed and dozens injured in multiple suicide bombings at three churches in Surabaya, Indonesia’s second-largest city, in a coordinated attack police said was carried out by one family and their children.
The Indonesian police chief, Tito Karniavan, told reporters that investigators believed one family, a husband and wife, and their four children aged between nine and 18 were the perpetrators of the worst attack the country has seen in more than a decade.

So the Guardian reported on this.
They did not report on it in a comprehensive way. They do not do a running total or any sort of graphic. Christians are in a minority in Indonesia and they get murdered simply for existing.
The Wall Street Journal has done a better job than the Guardian. They have been reporting on it since 911 or before.
Like the time someone was very good and considerate and beheaded schoolgirls on their way to school. People like the Guardian and Bob do not care or count such things.
"The three teenagers were walking to a private Christian school in Central Sulawesi province with their friend Noviana Malewa, 15, when they were attacked by a group of six masked men armed with machetes. The attackers left one of the girls' heads outside a church"

This trouble happened way before Myanmar. Way before.
You can bet middle class people in Burma read the newspaper and see what the Muslims in their region are doing in Indonesia. Is there any wonder that they do not want any Muslims? They could be next.
"THREE Christian high school girls were beheaded as a Ramadan "trophy" by Indonesian militants who conceived the idea after a visit to Philippines jihadists, a court heard yesterday.
The girls' severed heads were dumped in plastic bags in their village in Indonesia's strife-torn Central Sulawesi province, along with a handwritten note threatening more such attacks.
The note read: "Wanted: 100 more Christian heads, teenaged or adult, male or female; blood shall be answered with blood, soul with soul, head with head."
Hasanuddin allegedly returned from a visit to members of Philippines Islamist group the Moro Islamic Liberation Front with tales of how that organisation regularly staged bombings to coincide with Lebaran, the festival that ends the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. He later spoke with a preacher in Poso, Central Sulawesi, about whether such a plan could work in Indonesia, but expressed doubt about whether it was appropriate.
However, after further discussion with friends, he decided that beheading Christians could qualify as an act of Muslim charity.
"It would be a great Lebaran trophy if we got a Christian. Go search for the best place for us to find one," Hasanuddin allegedly ordered his companion.
Lilik returned to say he had found an "excellent" target - a group of schoolgirls who travelled to and from class by foot in the Central Sulawesi village of Gebong Rejo."
