Possible Personal Motive Behind Indonesia Mosque Blasts, Say Police

Explosions that injured dozens of people at a Jakarta mosque last week may not have been set off for religious reasons, and a personal motive may be involved, police said on Monday. More than 50 individuals were hospitalized with burns and other injuries after the blasts during Friday prayers at the mosque located within a school complex in Jakarta’s Kelapa Gading area. Jakarta police spokesperson Budi Hermanto mentioned that ‘The perpetrator is not anti any specific religion,’ according to the Antara state news agency. Hermanto also indicated that it was suspected the perpetrator may have felt neglected by their family and the feelings had accumulated over time.
