Jakarta, Indonesia, Friday, Indonesian authorities have identified a 17-year-old boy as the suspect of the attack that shook a mosque at a high school, causing 54+ injuries, mostly students.


Witnesses told the local TV stations that they heard at least two loud blasts around midday, just about the time the sermon had started on Friday. Students and others ran out in panic as gray smoke filled the mosque. The victims sustained a range of injuries, including severe burns. The suspect was also hurt, according to Indonesia's police chief. 

"We were so surprised by the sound, it was massive. Our hearts were beating fast, we couldn't breathe, and we ran outside," said Luciana, 43, who was working at the school canteen at the time.

Police said they had recovered a toy submachine gun belonging to the suspect and inscribed with what appeared to be white supremacist slogans. Including "14 words,. For Agartha," and "Brenton Tarrant: Welcome to hell."

"14 words" is generally a reference to a white supremacist slogan; Brenton Tarrant is the perpetrator of a 2019 mass shooting at a mosque and Islamic center in Christchurch, New Zealand, that killed 51 and injured dozens of others.

"There are several obstacles in obtaining information from witnesses as they are also victims who need medical treatment to recover," Jakarta Police's spokesperson Budi Hermanto told reporters late Friday, adding that authorities are providing "trauma healing" for students and teachers.
