Indonesian authorities said that the twin explosions at a mosque in Jakarta during Friday prayers — which left dozens injured — may have been a deliberate attack, with a 17-year-old identified as the prime suspect.<\/p>\n

Police said 55 people were in hospitals with a range of minor to serious injuries, including burns, after the blasts at the mosque inside a school complex in the Kelapa Gading area.<\/p>\n

“The explosion was loud, so loud that I could not breathe because I was shocked,” said Luciana, 43, who was working at the school canteen at the time. She described multiple blasts and panic as dozens fled the complex.<\/p>\n

“I thought it was a short circuit or the sound system which exploded — we were so afraid so we rushed out.”<\/p>\n

Deputy house speaker Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, speaking to media after visiting a hospital, said the young male suspect was undergoing surgery, without giving more details or possible motive.<\/p>\n

At a news conference, Jakarta city police chief Asep Edi Suheri said a probe was underway.<\/p>\n

“We have taken several measures such as investigating the crime scene, setting up a police line and sterilising the area,” Suheri said.<\/p>\n

Indonesia does have a history of attacks on churches and Western targets – but not mosques. Islamist militancy has largely been suppressed in recent years.<\/p>\n

News channel KompasTV showed footage of a green-painted mosque with a line of shoes outside, cordoned off with police tape. There were no signs of damage to the exterior.<\/p>\n

State news agency Antara quoted the deputy chief security minister Lodewijk Freidrich as saying there were two explosions.<\/p>\n

Black-clad police carrying assault rifles guarded the iron gates of the compound, with emergency vehicles and armoured police vehicles on the street outside.<\/p>\n

The complex is located in a crowded area of North Jakarta on largely navy-owned land, home to many military personnel and retired officers.<\/p>\n

President Asif Ali Zardari expressed deep sorrow and concern over the tragic explosion at a school mosque in Jakarta.<\/p>\n

The president conveyed his sympathies to the government and people of Indonesia and prayed for the swift recovery of those injured in the incident.<\/p>\n

Zardari reaffirmed Pakistan’s solidarity with Indonesia in the fight against terrorism and extremism, noting that Pakistan has itself suffered greatly and rendered immense sacrifices in this struggle.<\/p>\n

He added that terrorism has also left a deep mark on his own life, having lost close family members to acts of terror.<\/p>\n

He said such personal loss strengthens his resolve to work for peace and to stand firmly against extremism in all its forms.<\/p>\n

The president said that Pakistan stands shoulder to shoulder with Indonesia and the international community in its commitment to defeat terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
