The gun and bomb attack on Thursday, which has been claimed by Islamic State, injured around 30 in Jakarta’s commercial district. Five of the attackers were among the dead. “The victim was an employee of a branch of Bangkok Bank nearby,” Jakarta police spokeswoman Yulia Hutasuhut told Reuters. The person was Indonesian.
