JAKARTA. A suicide bomber detonated an explosive devise in front of the Surakarta Police headquarters in Central Java on Tuesday, injuring a police officer, said a police representative.

A motorcyclist attempted to break through a security barricade and, when an officer attempted to stop the approach, detonated a bomb, explained the Surakarta Police spokesperson. The alleged attack occurred a few hours after a series of bombings were set off in three cities in Saudi Arabia, including Madinah, considered a sacred Islamic site. The attacks in Saudi Arabia, which left four people dead, followed a bloody week of bomb attacks in Turkey, Bangladesh and Iraq.
