Some 90,000 soldiers will be guarding more than 50,000 churches across Indonesia in an effort to thwart terror attacks during Christmas, the Christian Post website reports today (December 24, 2018).
"We have coordinated with police, military, and Islamic groups to maintain the security, so that Catholics can attend Christmas masses comfortably and safely," an Indonesian security coordinator said.
The church in Surabaya, East Java, was attacked by suicide bombers last May.
At that time, the terrorists, linked with the Islamic State terror group, targeted three churches in the world's most populous Islamic nation, killing 18 people.
