Jakarta blasts tied to IS

JAKARTA: Indonesia’s antiterrorism unit raided the home of a suspected suicide bomber yesterday as authorities linked attacks that killed three police officers at a Jakarta bus station a day earlier to the Islamic State militant group.

Six police officers and six civilians were also wounded in the twin blasts set off five minutes apart by two attackers in the Kampung Melayu area of the Indonesian capital late on Wednesday, police said. The attacks were the deadliest in Indonesia since January last year, when eight people were killed, four of them attackers, after suicide bombers and gunmen attacked the capital. Reuters
