The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for a series of explosions that ripped through the Indonesian capital Jakarta today. At least seven people, including five alleged attackers, have died and 20 people were injured in the blasts and ensuing gun battles between police and militants. Four other suspects were arrested. The attack included at least five explosions in downtown Jakarta. A police traffic post and a Starbucks cafe were hit. Indonesian President Joko Widodo called it an “act of terror.”

President Joko Widodo: “We condemn these attacks that have disturbed the peace of society, and we want to spread this message to the nation and society. I ordered the authorities to catch those responsible for the attacks and even those out there that are involved in this. We, as a country, we should not be frightened by what has happened, this act of terror. We should stay calm, because everything will be under control.”
