The terrorist group Daesh claimed Thursday responsibility for the Jakarta attacks that left seven people dead.

According to the Independent, the terrorists killed the victims in a shooting in Jakarta that targeted a group of foreign visitors and the security forces accompanying them.

At least seven people -- five attackers and two civilians -- were killed in Jakarta Thursday as militants launched suicide, shooting and bombing attacks that tore through a Starbucks cafe and shook an embassy district in the Muslim-majority nation.

Police declared the attack over after several hours, and said no more assailants were on the loose.
