Police brushed away specula tion for now that the blasts were a terror attack, saying they were still investigating.

Witnesses told local television stations that they heard at least two loud blasts around midday, from inside and outside the mosque, just as the sermon had started at the mosque at SMA 72, a state high school within a navy compound in Jakarta's northern Kelapa Gading neighborhood.
