An ISIS suicide bomber today attacked a Catholic priest with an axe as he tried to blow up hundreds of worshippers at a church during Sunday Mass.

But the bomb burned without setting off the explosives, so the jihadi pulled an axe from his bag and slashed the priest’s arm at St Yoseph Church in Medan, the capital of North Sumatra in Indonesia.

Hundreds of people could have been killed if the bomb had gone off inside the church in Indonesia but the device failed and members of the congregation wrestled the axe from his grasp.

Churchgoers on Sunday quickly caught the attacker and called the police.
The congregation then stepped in and managed to wrestle the axe from his grasp, detaining him until the police arrived. An eyewitness, Markus Harianto Manullan, said the assailant wore a jacket and carried a bag.
‘He sat in the same row as I did… I saw him fiddling with something in his jacket, and then I heard a small explosion and he immediately ran to the podium,’ Manullan said.
As officers marched the suspect to the car, pictures show his white trousers soaked in blood.

Police found his ID card and a hand-drawn picture of the ISIS flag. The young fanatic also told police that he was not working alone. He was later pictured at the police station with an officer holding his bloody head off the ground, where he was lying handcuffed.
Police are still investigating the man’s motive.
