JAKARTA, Indonesia (AA) – Indonesia awaits for the Philippines to end their investigation over a recent church bombing for the identification of bombers, Indonesian foreign minister said on Saturday.

Retno Marsudi said that she has contacted the authorities in the Philippines after reports that the suspects in the twin bomb attacks at a church in the Philippines' southern Sulu province were Indonesian nationals.

At least 27 people have been killed and several others injured after the bomb attacks in the country last Sunday.

Marsudi said that they were waiting for suspects’ identification.

On Friday, the Philippine interior minister said that an Indonesian couple was behind the church attack.
