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 2˝ years in prison.
