Two blasts on a school campus in Indonesia’s capital injured at least 20 people on Friday, said authorities, who reported the cause was under investigation. The explosions occurred at around 12:15 pm (0515 GMT) around a mosque on a high school campus in North Jakarta, said deputy coordinating minister of politics and security Lodewijk Freidrich Paulus. He urged the public not to rush to judgment as information emerged over what happened and why. “Don’t jump to the conclusion that this is a terrorist act,” Lodewijk said as quoted by Antara state news agency, adding that the probe was ongoing.
