ISIS claims responsibility. This mall is not far away from the backpacker ghetto at Jalan Jaksa. I've been to the mall several times when in Indonesia. Evidently a terrorist was picked out by a security guard posted outside and taken to a police cubicle at the mall, where he detonated the bomb killing 10 people. The casualties would have been much much higher had be been allowed into the Mall area.
It turns out that there were 5 suicide bombers. Two of the bombers went inside the Starbucks and started shooting the place up. They took two hostages, one a Canadian. The Canadian was later executed actually murdered before the terrorists were killed with grenades. The Canadian was the only Bule killed. Two of the other bombers blew themselves up and one got shot by the cops. |
