Three Christian Schoolgirls Beheaded In Indonesia

Three teenage Christian girls were beheaded as they walked to school near the Muslim town of Poso, in Indonesian island of Sulawesi.

According to Reuters, a National police spokesman said up to six men in black clothes and masks attacked the students:

"The perpetrators wore black attire and veils and they used machetes to slash (the victims)," he told reporters in Jakarta.

The three headless bodies of the high school students, dressed in brown uniforms, were left at the site of the attack. Three heads were found at separate locations two hours later by residents.

The Associated Press reports that the schoolgirls were ambushed while walking through a cocoa plantation on their way to class.

I guess the Indonesian terrorists didn't read the Zawahiri-Zarqawi letter expressing concern that terror attacks cause the evil doers to loose public support.

UPDATE: At The Galvin Opinion, Thomas posts the beheaded girls are true martyrs. At Jihad Watch, Robert takes the BBC to task for its unwillingness to say there is a religious cionnection to this terrorism.
