Tanks take over Jakarta streets, terrorists still at large
January 14, 2016 11:57
Tanks have been deployed in Jakarta where a hunt is underway for gunmen after several blasts.
At least six people, including a policeman, are dead after militants carried out a series of apparently coordinated gun and bomb attacks in the heart of the Indonesian capital of Jakarta. There have so far been no claims of responsibility, but one analyst likened the timed attacks to the Paris massacre where gunmen struck several locations at the same time.
Police say at least 14 militants including suicide bombers may have been involved.
