Jakarta attacks Indonesia 'chasing terror cells'

  • 8 years ago
Jakarta's chief of police has told the BBC that Indonesia is hunting terror cells believed to have been involved in the attack on the capital.
Two civilians and five attackers died in Thursday's gun and bomb assault.
Insp Gen Tito Karnavian told the BBC the actual attackers had been "neutralised". He said that the group was "tiny" but linked to terror cells in Sulawesi and Java.
The Islamic State (IS) militant group has said it was behind the attack.
It released a statement online saying it had been carried out by "soldiers of the Caliphate", targeting "citizens of the Crusader coalition" against the group.
