You are correct.
Overwhelmingly, the majority of terrorist victims these days tend to be other Muslims who were deemed the wrong "type" of Muslim by the radicals.

Yeah they launched a major operation, which has undoubtedly helped, but there are always some fuckers.
At a polio center too, jeez man.

I hear that there are 6 people with backpack suspected as bombs trying to go into the mall, they were brought to police post near the Mall, 3 people blew themselves up, the other 3 try to run leading to gunfight.
no idea if this is true or not, I hear it from my relative.

Holy shit that live footage was crazy, complete chaos, police in civilian clothing with handguns on the street ducking for cover as loud gunshots are being heard. I hope no other innocents get injured.

it's 4th of July in my asshole
There's video of a dude blowing himself up but he has 2 of his guys with him who are in a gun fight when he does..... so he killed himself and his 2 buddies who were still fighting. Poor planning.
Anyway since its Indonesia they will find who masterminded this and give them 2 years jail and let them out in six months with good behaviour.
Also Indonesia has a lot of chubby cops.
Is this the same Indonesia that executes drug smugglers?

They executed 3 terrorists in 2008, it's not unprecedented for them

I would say the worst since the Marriot bombing. A friend of mine lost two legs (and a couple of friends) in that one
They also shot cops and civilians in the middle of the day...fucking hell...

Any more updates on this situation?
It is now already night in Indonesia, so perhaps we will get more detailed informations tomorrow.
The attack has stopped. Six people were killed and at least 10 people got injured. As for other details, i'd rather wait for more official sources. A lot of rumors spreading around at the moment.
BBC - Jakarta attacks: Islamic State says it was responsible
Two civilians died. I must say the preparedness and response from the authorities was amazing and prevented what could have been another attack like the one in Paris.
