PEKANBARU: Four men who attacked an Indonesian police headquarters with samurai swords were shot dead and one officer also died, authorities said, days after a wave of deadly suicide bombings claimed by the Islamic State (IS) group rocked the country.

The assault in the city of Pekan­baru on Sumatra island – also claimed by IS – saw a group ram their minivan into a gate at the station and then attack officers, police said.
