Suicide bombing kills police

officer, injures 11
A suspected Islamist militant killed one other person and wounded 11
in a suicide bomb attack, reportedly in protest at the new Criminal
Code, at a police station in Bandung, West Java, on Wednesday.

The suicide bomber is believed to have been affiliated with the Islamic
State-inspired group Jamaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD) and had
previously been jailed on terrorism charges, National Police chief
Gen. Listyo Sigit Prabowo told a news conference.

The attack happened at around 8.30 a.m. when officers at the Astana
Anyar subprecinct station were holding roll call. Police officers tried to
stop the perpetrator as he charged into the police station compound
brandishing a knife.
