"One person was killed on the scene," he said in a press conference at his office here.
Some of the injured were still being treated at hospitals while the other had been allowed to return home, he said.
"I have just received a report that three of the injured have been allowed to return home," he said.
He said police were still combing the area around the church and identifying anything near the suicide bomb blast site.
"Security personnel are combing and localizing the area where the suicide bomb blast occurred. They are also collecting anything as evidence to reveal who is the suicide bomber and which network he belongs to," he said.
The Indonesian Police Headquarters believed the suicide bomber had used a low explosive bomb.
This was evident from the insignificant damage to the church building, Head of the Indonesian Police Headquarters` Public Information Division Snr. Comr. Boy Rafli Amar said.
"It is still unclear the motive behind the bomb blast," he said the police were sterilizing the scene and questioning a number of witnesses.(*)
