Jakarta. In the latest example of religious intolerance in Indonesia, a group of unknown people attacked an Ahmadiyah mosque in South Jakarta early on Friday morning.

The sword-wielding assailants smashed the windows of the Al Hidayah Mosque on Jalan Ciputat Raya in Kebayoran Lama and left. No injuries were reported.

Mubarik, spokesman for Jakarta’s Ahmadiyah community, confirmed the attack.

Police are yet to comment.
