Police suspect Solo bombing suicide attack

The police say that the reported nail bomb that exploded in Sepenuh Injil Bethel Church (GBIS) in Solo, Central Java, on Sunday was likely a suicide bomb attack.

"We strongly suspect that it was a suicide bomb," Central Java Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Jihartono said, as quoted by kompas.com.

The body of the only person killed in the explosion was in a horrific state, Jihartono said, with wounds to the stomach and hands.

"A Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) team from Solo and Semarang are investigating the scene to identify the victim, whether it was a low or high explosive bomb, the method of its crafting and so on," Jihartono said.

At least eight injured members of the congregation were taken to nearby hospitals, most with wounds from nails contained in the explosive device, according to a witness.
