Indonesia attack toll rises to eight

The gun and bomb attack on Thursday, which has been claimed by Islamic State, injured around 30 in Jakarta’s commercial district. Five of the attackers were among the dead. “The victim was an employee of a branch of Bangkok Bank nearby,” Jakarta police spokeswoman Yulia Hutasuhut told Reuters. The person was Indonesian. Police arrested 12 people linked to the Jakarta attack in raids across the country at the weekend, and found evidence the group had planned further attacks targeting security officials and foreigners in other cities like Bandung.
