: US Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday condemned the ISIS-linked attacks in Jakarta, saying the group was merely inviting -"its own destruction-".
-"There is nothing in any act of terror that offers anything but death,-" Mr Kerry told journalists in London following a meeting with Saudi counterpart Adel al-Jubeir.
The US politician stressed that terror attacks would not -"intimidate nation-states from protecting their citizens and continuing to provide real opportunity, education, jobs, possibilities of a future,-" and only strengthened resolve to defeat the group.
ISIS -"have proven that they offer nothing, no alternative but their own destruction,-" he said.
-"If that's the choice they leave us, we're going to do what's necessary,-" he added.
Five extremists launched Thursday's assault in the heart of the Indonesian capital, detonating explosives and shooting at people in a district packed with malls, embassies and United Nations offices, killing at least two people.
Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir added: -"We condemn the terrorist attacks that occurred in Jakarta.
-"If anything it should strengthen our resolve to work effectively together to combat the scourge of terrorism,-" he said.
