A bomb exploded at the office of a moderate Islamic group in Jakarta on Tuesday, injuring four people including a policeman, a witness told television station Metro TV.

“Our office received a suspicious package containing cables with a strong smell. We called the police,” Fia Anwar said.

The package was sent to the East Jakarta office of the Liberal Islam Network, a moderate grouping of religious intellectuals, she said.

“As the police were checking the package, it exploded. Four people were injured, including a policeman and our security guards,” she added.
