Abstract

The increase of terrorism cases recently has become the world's interest and Indonesian government's as well. One of the cases occurred in Surabaya on May 13 and 14, 2018 that targeted three churches and one police station. There is a major change in terrorism act in which it now involves the bomber's family members as the attacker. If in the previous cases women are considered as the influencers, in the present case they become the perpetrators who also involve their children to be a part of the attack. Thus, this present study aims to elaborate the psychological condition of the suicide bombers’ family.
