• The suspect in the Jakarta mosque bombing acted alone and was motivated by personal grievances.
• Authorities suggest the suspect was inspired by neo-Nazi and white supremacist attitudes.
• The bombing during prayers resulted in 96 injuries, with some victims in serious condition.
• Police discovered multiple homemade explosive devices, some triggered remotely.

The Jakarta mosque bombing on November 7 has been linked to a 17-year-old student whose motives appear to stem from personal grievances rather than religious extremism. Budi Hermanto, a police spokesperson, noted the suspect was "not anti any specific religion" and possibly felt neglected by family members, leading to a buildup of emotional distress, according to Channel News Asia.

Police describe the perpetrator as a “lone wolf,” motivated by vengeance and inspired by past mass killings committed by neo-Nazis and white supremacists. Densus 88 officials confirmed that the student had accessed materials online to learn how to assemble explosives. They reported finding seven homemade bombs, with some detonated via remote control, as detailed by South China Morning Post and Reuters.

The police indicated that the explosions injured a total of 96 individuals, leading to several serious injuries among them. Investigators found disturbing evidence at the site, including a toy firearm with a message hinting at revenge, further highlighting the suspect's troubled mindset, according to Channel News Asia.

Furthermore, the suspect had embedded himself within social media communities that glorified violence and mass shootings, which may have contributed to his actions. Police referenced infamous violent incidents, including the Christchurch mosque attacks and the Columbine school shootings, as potential inspirations for the student's decision to commit the bombing. This insight was shared by Channel News Asia and Reuters.
