Four people suspected of being behind the gunfire and serial explosions in the Indonesian capital Jakarta today are dead, including two who were allegedly suicide bombers, police said.
Two civilians are also confirmed as having died, taking the total death toll in the attacks to six, Deputy National Police Chief Budi Gunawan told reporters.
Two attackers were killed in a shootout with police, while two others were suicide bombers, he said.
Of the two recent civilian deaths, one was a foreigner, Gunawan said.
Jakarta police spokesman Muhammad Iqbal added that five police personnel, one foreign civilian and four Indonesian civilians were injured, he said.
Witnesses said at least one gunman had attacked a cafe in the city centre -- near a cluster of embassies -- shooting at bystanders, as a series of explosions rocked the area.
