Surabaya church attacks: One family responsible, police say

A family of six, including a nine-year-old girl, were behind a wave of blasts targeting three churches in Indonesia's second city of Surabaya, police say.

At least 13 people were killed and dozens injured in the attacks.

The mother and two daughters blew themselves up at a church, while the father and two sons targeted two others, according to police.

Sunday's bombings, which the Islamic State group has claimed, are the deadliest in Indonesia since 2005.
