He said that it is premature to speculate who the perpetrators are and that the Indonesian authorities will make deliberate investigations on the attacks.
"Let me assure you, these people who perpetrated these heinous acts cannot run away from the law forever ... and will be brought to justice," he said, adding that the Indonesian government looks forward to international support in this regard.
In the statement, the council reiterated its determination to combat all forms of terrorism, in accordance with its responsibilities under the Charter of the United Nations.
