Hi there,

Independent media is more important than ever. Speaking up and telling the truth is becoming increasingly dangerous. Because we are only sponsored by you—not by governments or corporations—we can continue to bring you courageous journalism in a landscape filled with disinformation. If every person who came here for news this month gave just $15, we would be fully funded for a year. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Suicide Bombing Attacks Catholic Church Mass in Indonesia

HeadlineMar 29, 2021

In Indonesia, a pair of suicide bombers attacked a Catholic church Sunday in the city of Makassar, injuring 20 people at a Palm Sunday Mass marking the start of the Holy Week leading up to Easter. No group has claimed responsibility, but a senior police official blamed a group that’s pledged allegiance to ISIS and was implicated in a string of deadly suicide bombings on Indonesian churches in 2018.
