An inmate had also been killed at the jail in the Mobile Police Brigade (Brimob) headquarters in Depok, National police spokesman Muhammad Iqbal told reporters. In a message carried on its Amaq news agency, Islamic State claimed responsibility for the incident and said that 10 counter-terrorism officers had been killed. Iqbal denied that Islamic State was behind the attack or that it had been planned. Last week anti-terrorism police arrested three militants suspected of planning an attack on three other police buildings in West Java. Islamic State sympathizers have carried out a series of mostly low-level attacks in Indonesia over the past few years.
