An Islamic State-allied news agency says the group was behind the Jakarta attacks.
Islamic State carried out the
attacks in Jakarta earlier on Thursday, a news agency allied to
the group reported.
"Islamic State fighters carried out an armed attack this
morning targeting foreign nationals and the security forces
charged with protecting them in the Indonesian capital," Aamaaq
news agency said on its Telegram channel.
Militants launched a gun and bomb assault in the centre of
the Indonesian capital on Thursday, killing at least six people,
police said, in an attack on a country that Islamic State had
threatened to put in its "spotlight".
