JAKARTA - A 25-year-old woman who staged an attack on police headquarters in Jakarta on Wednesday (March 31) hailed from a family that harboured no extremist tendencies.
Experts said the college dropout, the youngest of three children to a blue-collar worker and a mother who works in a government-sponsored community project, was likely self-radicalised.
