Jakarta blasts: Bombs and gunfire rock Indonesian capital
‪#‎Pray4Jakarta‬

A series of bomb blasts have rocked the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, with continuing gunfire and reports of further explosions.

At least six people have been killed by the blasts, say police, which hit locations including a shopping centre close to UN offices.

Police say at least four suspected attackers are dead. It remains unclear who was behind the assault.

President Joko Widodo has called for calm but condemned the "act of terror".

"We all are grieving for the fallen victims of this incident, but we also condemn the act that has disturbed the security and peace and spread terror among our people," he said.

Indonesia has been attacked by Islamist militant groups in the past and was on high alert over the new year period after threats from the so-called Islamic State (IS).

Mr Charliyan said while it was not yet clear who carried out the attack, IS had warned of a "concert in Indonesia" which would be international news.
'Gunfire right now'

The attack began with initial blasts outside the Sarinah shopping centre in Jakarta, followed by more than an hour of gunfire and continuing reports of further explosions.

Armed police, snipers and armoured vehicles are on the streets of the capital.

This method of attack is totally different than series of previous attacks. In previous attacks the method that used was put time bomb then go, or, a suicide bomber blew himself. But in attack that happened today the attackers threw bombs and shot the people. It's indicate that the attacker are not people who indoctrinated to become a 'bride' (term for suicide bomber), but people who have been trained to launch attack.

Here, the evidences that found from one attacker.

Words from Assim Al Hakeem regarding the attack:

The recent attacks in Jakarta are a clear manifestation of the sick ideology these terrorists have!

They overlook the nearby Israel, Syria or even Hizbullat and target instead the biggest Muslim country in the world!

They have nothing relating them to Islam. They are indeed like our Prophet had described them; the hounds of hell.

They target Muslims, terrorize innocent humans and leave the enemies of Islam safe and sound! May Allah destroy Them!

Look what ISIS wrote about attack in Jakarta.



In fact that attack killed only four civilians and four of attacker. The three civilian victims are Indonesian Muslims. The foreign victim, a Canadian, probably Muslim too because he is immigrant from Algeria.
