Jakarta Blast : Indonesia - Suicide bombers kill 3 officers at Jakarta bus station

There were two massive suicide blasts at Jakarta last night. It is suspected that last night Indonesia faced two explosions strikes near a bus stand of Jakarta. The explosion was executed by the suicide bombers. This explosion takes lives of three Indonesian police officers and wounded nearly 10 people.

From the speech of the local vendor, Ardi Maulana, “initially I heard a loud bang. I thought it was a burst of a tire. I saw many people gathered and taking pictures with their mobile phones. I approached them to find out what happened and I saw a severed arm on the street.”

Setyo Wasisto, a police spokesman reported that till now three police officers were killed and ten people injured, who were send for medical treatment.

Andry wibowo, the east Jakarta police officer said to the local tv channel that, “there were two blasts at around 9 pm, close to each other, there are three victims.” Another civilian told to that local channel “from the damage, I can see the explosions were pretty big.” He also said “I was on a flyover and then I heard the first explosion. There was a 10-minute gap between the two explosions.”

So, initially it is reported from the government, three police were killed and 10 men injured but through the massive attack number of injuries can be increased.

In 2016, Indonesia has long been fighting against Islamic state of Iraq and Levant in Syria and Iraq (ISIL).it was a suicide attack in Jakarta. Till now the police can‘t find any clue for the last night incident. But they want to find if there is any linkup with ISIL or not.
