Blasts Near United Nations Offices, Jakarta

At least four people have been killed in a series of explosions near the United Nations offices in Jakarta, with police saying the attackers threw grenades from motorcycles.

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

One blast was in a Starbucks cafe and security forces were later seen entering the building.

"This is a bomb," Anton Charliyan national police spokesman told AFP news agency.

He warned people to stay away, saying police feared there could be more blasts.

Officers at the scene told AFP news agency reporters to "get back" because there "is a sniper" on the roof of a building.

"The Starbucks cafe windows are blown out. I see three dead people on the road," a Reuters photographer who was on the scene said.

"There has been a lull in the shooting but someone is on the roof of the building and police are aiming their guns at him."

A police post on a main thoroughfare was damaged after six blasts were heard.

Australia's ambassador to Indonesia, Paul Grigson, tweeted: "Media is reporting explosions and gun fire in the area of the Sarinah Mall on Jl Thamrin in Central Jakarta."

"All Australians should stay clear of these areas, limit their movements and follow the instructions of local authorities," he wrote.

Another example of the Religion of Peace spreading-the-love.

Or maybe they just wanted to take out Starbucks because it was a direct competitor for "Allah Hu's Snackbar."

Here's a closer view of the blast.

Looks like two attackers under fire. Maybe two victims in front of them near the fence.

They're under fire so they either are useless idiots or decide to take the easy way out.

And by 'grenades', I think they actually meant 'pipe bombs'.

More of the nonsense brought to you by the DEATH Cult of 'peace'.

Whose supposed 'fault' is it this time, moo slums?

Hmmm...?

And these clowns want to 'take over the world'.
