No other casualties were reported in the attack, which took place at around 9 a.m. in the city of Bandung, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.
Two terrorists are suspected of taking part in the attack. One, reportedly a woman, escaped on a motorbike. The other bomber then ran to a government office close to the park.
