At least three bombs exploded near a Starbucks cafe in downtown Jakarta on Thursday while gunmen also attacked a police post and other locations in Indonesia's capital. Seven people, including five attackers, were killed in the incident that now appears to be over, police said. Up to a dozen attackers may be involved in the attacks that police said mimicked the Paris attacks on Nov. 13 that killed 130 people. Thursday's assaults took place in a busy shopping area close to many embassies and a United Nations office.
