First IS attack in Indonesia

Here we go again. Between their soft approach and the Densus 88 (trained and heavily invested in by US and AUS), the overall consensus is they got terrorism under control there. We'll see how this one goes.

According to witness and police accounts, a man blew himself up in a Starbucks café adjacent to the Sarinah Department Store on Thamrin Street.

The attackers also took two hostages – a Dutch national and an Algerian – who later escaped but were shot and wounded, police spokesman Anton Charliyan said.

Gunmen stationed outside the café targeted panicked people who rushed out of the Starbucks.

A witness, Tri Heriyanto, said he heard two explosions in the Starbucks around 10:35 a.m. and, shortly thereafter, another blast that seemed to come from a police post at the intersection of Thamrin and Wahid Hasyim streets, 10 meters (32.8 feet) from the Starbucks.

“After the third explosion, people started swarming toward that police station, but then there were gunshots and you could see it was police who were being targeted,” said Tri, who works at a bank nearby.

Police officer Feri Siregar said he and his colleagues were shot at as they pulled up to the intersection on motorcycles after being called to the scene.

The gunmen wore black shirts and hats, and carried backpacks, he said.

“As far as I could see, there were two people,” Feri told BenarNews.

He could not see their faces nor could he hear them say anything.

“But they seemed very relaxed. I even saw one of the shooters reloading his gun before shooting at us again.”

Attackers also lobbed explosives at police. A video widely circulated online showed police trying to escape the onslaught by jumping over vegetation that bordered the street.

"I don’t have a weapon. I chose to save myself,” said Panjaitan, a police officer that BenarNews encountered in the yard of the Jaya Building across the street. His uniform was stained with mud.

‘We will not be defeated’

Police said three militants were killed by gunfire and two from bomb blasts. Of the 24 injured, six were police.

It's almost as fail as Garland, TX. Out of 7 dead, 5 are the scumbags. The police and military (no posse commitatus there) response time was rather impressive. Either excellent crowdsourcing (Jakara has one of the highest twitter traffic) or picking a police outpost as an attack target was not the smartest COA to imitate Paris attack.
Note how the "grenade" design is exact copy of what Inspire an Dabiq magazines instruct.
If you peruse the video and timeline, it's also worth noting that what I was taught in the active shooter first responded class is relevant here. Immediate return of fire is crucial. The moment these cowards are out of their "god-mode" bubble, they decided to "spread" themselves on the ground.

Thankfully, it was disrupted quite quickly to prevent it becoming as costly as Paris, Nairobi, Mumbai or many other locations in this politically unacknowledged global/world war.

Motorcycle equipped and carbine armed cops/paramilitaries riding 2 up were frequently seen in post attach news coverage.

Cheap and fast option for developing world quick response swarming for both shooters and paramedics.

Hopefully the concept continues to be refined and replicated across the world as an effective urban active shooter response as the mega ghettos grow and auto/truck congestion gets worse.

Jakarta traffic is absolutely atrocious. I'm surprised the good guys made it there so quickly.

It is interesting to see that these "moderate" nations are recently becoming the target of these Islamofacists. I see the Indos getting real heavy in going after these people.

Just before Christmas, they interrupted a cell and captured one person near Jakarta, along with some equipment and knew there was an attack coming.
