Islamic State behind Jakarta blast, source says
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Aamaq news agency, which is affiliated with the Islamic State group, is quoting an unnamed source as saying the group carried out a “Paris-style” suicide strike on the Indonesian capital Jakarta.
The news agency has been used as a source for the IS militants in the past. However, according to SITE, which tracks militant websites, the Islamic Group has not yet issued a communique claiming responsibility for the attack.
The report in Arabic says that a source told Aamaq that “fighters from the Islamic State carried out this morning an armed attack that targeted foreigners and the security forces tasked with protecting them in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta.”
