The United States has condemned the attack in the heart of the Indonesian capital Jakarta that was claimed by Islamic State militants.
"These acts of terror are not going to intimidate nation-states from protecting their citizens and continuing to provide real opportunity, education, jobs, possibilities of a future," US Secretary of State John Kerry said on Thursday during a break in talks in London with Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir.
"There is nothing in any act of terror that offers anything but death and destruction.
"And so we stand together, all of us, united in our efforts to eliminate those who choose terror."
Al-Jubeir also condemned the attacks in central Jakarta, which killed two civilians and five assailants.
