I figured it was Catholic Churches, but the short articles so far do not say so.

Think it’s pay back for the New Zealand mosque killings?
Since when have moslims needed "payback" as an excuse?

The source claims 6(!) blasts - nearly simultaneous
3 churches
3 hotels
They probably heard each other go off in succession (causing them to act) or it was set for a certain time (guessing).
Pretty scary stuff
I gotta hit the sack here in a few - about to log off
