Explosions rock Indonesian capital
2009/07/17
At least nine killed and scores injured after blasts in two luxury hotels.
JAKARTA: Bombs tore through two luxury hotels here on Friday killing at least nine people including foreigners and leaving more than 40 others injured, officials said.
Two blasts shook the Ritz-Carlton hotel and the nearby JW Marriot in the upscale Mega Kuningan business district in the centre of the city around 8:00am (0100 GMT), sending a huge plume of smoke into the sky.
A third explosion was reported near a shopping complex in the north of the Indonesian capital several hours later, but police later denied initial reports that it was also caused by a bomb.
The bombings were the first major attack in Indonesia since a series of suicide bombings on the resort island of Bali in 2005 which were blamed on the Al Qaeda-linked Jemaah Islamiyah Islamic militant group.
“These were high explosive bombs,” Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Widodo Adi Sucipto told reporters at the scene.
Windows were blown out of a second-storey restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton, but there was little damage to the Marriott that was visible from outside.
Police said one blast hit the basement of the Marriott and a second struck the restaurant of the Ritz-Carlton at the peak breakfast hour.
