JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) Indonesian authorities said they have identified a 17-year-old boy as the suspected perpetrator of an attack that shook a mosque at a high school during Friday prayers in Jakarta, Indonesia's capital, injuring at least 55 people, mostly students. Police brushed away speculation for now that the blasts were a terror attack, saying they were still investigating. Witnesses told local television stations
This is a fast-moving investigation, and we are urging anyone with relevant information to report it to us. This includes anyone with CCTV, Ring doorbell, dashcam, and mobile phone footage in the area at the time. We understand the concerns this has caused within the community, and the impact that will be felt by the Muslim community as a result.
Novato police arrested 33-year-old David Slattery Friday morning after he crashed his car into the Islamic Center of North Marin and allegedly attacked someone inside the mosque. As KTVU reports, an officer was patrolling the area when he heard a crash on the 7000 block of Redwood Boulevard around 11:30 am Friday and ran to investigate, according to a press release from the department.
