I've also heard that something is happening at the Sydney Opera House.

                       :-/

Not sure how true it is; not much information at the moment.

Several explosions have been heard in the centre of the Indonesian capital and casualties were seen lying on the ground, witnesses say.

"At least two people are reported killed in a series of blasts in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, with gunfire breaking out afterwards.

"The explosions happened outside the Sarinah shopping centre, close to the presidential palace and UN offices, say reports.

"A UN official close to the scene, Jeremy Douglas, told the BBC that gunfire was ongoing."

Global warming strikes again.

Sydney Opera House has been evacuated and Manly Wharf has been cordoned off.  Ferries cancelled.

Long way from Jakarta though   8-)

"There is gunfire going on in the street right now.

"A Reuters photographer said one explosion had been at a Starbucks cafe, with its windows blown out.

"He said police appeared to be aiming guns at a man on the roof of the building."

...................

" ... this appears to be a very different style of attack from anything that's taken place in Jakarta in the past."

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-35309195

"Five suspected attackers, including two suicide bombers, are dead after a terrorist attack in central Jakarta, Indonesian police say."

At least the Indonesians will know what to do:

I feel bad for their families, Homo, but it’s strange. Five terrorists killed, but only two civilians.

What’s the point of that?

I wonder. Usually, things are as they appear.

But this is Java. A mirage.

ABC 24 reporting IS militants are involved.

This is sad news for INDONESIA

But well done to the LIBs for frustrating terrorists trying to enter Australia

These terrorists were too impatience to get the 72 virgins so they kill in Indonesia rather than wait to get to Australia

Good point, Maqqa. Preventing terrorists from entering Australia is the policy of every party in Australia.

This is sad news for Indonesia, and it could have been much worse. We still know nothing about who did this, and their motives.

I won’t be congratulating Indonesian authorities until I’m.sure they’re in the clear.

They’re saying ISIS has owned up to it. Fair enough.

Who else would kill five of their own people to snuff out two random human lives?

I've had enough of these terrorists -

we must introduce detention without trial for all suspected Muslims

& re-educate them in a re-education camp.

Yes. Not very successful at all. Suicide bombers who kill only a couple of people, terrorists sniping from rooftops. I predict an announcement by Jokowi soon.

Miam miam.

List of priorities for sympathy

(1) non-Malaysians who died
(2) Malaysians who died

They don't muck around in Indonesia -

they don't have to tread on the toes of any progressive,
do-gooder, bed wetting, limp wristed homos.

Let's not talk about the sickness spreading through Islam on a daily basis. Better to use words like terror, militancy, and extremist. They are easier to sweep under the rug.

ISIS militant ordered Jakarta attack from abroad,

police chief says

By Greg Botelho and Kathy Quiano, CNN

Updated 0208 GMT (1008 HKT) January 15, 2016

akarta, Indonesia (CNN)A militant who police accuse of plotting Thursday's deadly terror attack in Jakarta instructed his cells in Indonesia to launch the attack, according to Jakarta Police Chief Tito Karnavian.

Karnavian spoke to CNN one day after the violence erupted midday, killing at least two, wounding 24 and raising alarm about terrorism in the world's most populous Muslim country.

ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack in an official statement posted online by the terror organization.

"We have been informed by our intelligence that an individual named Bahrun Naim, based on the communications ... instructed his cells in Indonesia to mount an attack in Indonesia," Karnavian said.

Naim, who police believe is living in Syria, was apprehended by Indonesian authorities in 2010 for illegal possession of ammunition and was brought to justice, the police chief said. Naim was sentenced to at least 2½ years in prison.
