MIRROR: A Catholic priest has been stabbed while holding a Sunday service by an ISIS-inspired knifeman who then tried to set off an explosive device but failed.
Priest Albert Pandiangan was giving the mass in the city of Medan in Indonesia, located on the western island of Sumatra.
He was approached by a young man who stabbed him in his left arm, local chief detective Nur Fallah said.
Images of the priest later emerged showing him with a bloodied arm, while the suspect’s ID card was found at the scene accompanied with a drawing of the Islamic State terrorist flag.
