Indonesian authorities on Friday morning arrested three men in connection with Thursday’s terror attacks in the capital city Jakarta, in which at least seven people died and more than 20 others were injured, but later found them innocent of involvement.
Local police chief Dwiyono told a television channel that the trio, whom he classified as “suspected militants,” were apprehended early Friday morning at their homes in the Depok area on the outskirts of Jakarta, the Associated Press reported.
The Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) has claimed responsibility for the attacks, which took place at an area near a popular shopping mall and the city’s main U.N. office in a bustling commercial area.
The assailants, five of whom police said were killed, detonated bombs and opened fire on security forces.
