Suicide bombers struck the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton, two luxury hotels popular with businessmen and diplomats, in Jakarta's main business district during breakfast. Police on Friday said eight people died, revising down an earlier count of nine, and over 60 were injured. On Saturday it seemed the toll had been raised again to nine, including two suicide bombers. The blasts are a severe blow for Southeast Asia's biggest economy and for President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono who was re-elected earlier this month in a landslide victory on the back of restoring peace and strong growth to a country with the world's largest Muslim population. Police won't be drawn on who may be responsible for the blasts, but suspicion has fallen on remnants of Jemaah Islamiah, the militant Islamist group responsible for a string of attacks in Indonesia in the first half of the decade. East Jakarta Police Chief Hasanudin told the English language Jakarta Post that forensic experts were identifying the bodies of seven foreign nationals. "All were foreigners," Hasanudin told the Post, adding that all were male. Police have not yet released the names of any of the victims. Tim Mackay, chief executive of cement maker Holcim Indonesia and a New Zealand national, was one of several executives attending a CastleAsia Group breakfast at one of the hotels, and was killed in the blast, Holcim said on Friday. Australian media reported three Australians, Garth McEvoy, Craig Senger and Nathan Verity, died in the attacks. NO WARNING Australian Foreign Minister Stephen Smith told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation before leaving for Indonesia on Saturday that the two hotels were regularly used by foreign government personnel. He said there was "no intelligence" in advance of Friday's bombings warning of any attack, adding that Australia would offer whatever assistance it could to Indonesia. Police said on Friday the bombers had checked in to the Marriott as paying guests on Wednesday and had assembled the bombs in their room. A third bomb was found and defused in a laptop computer bag on the 18th floor. International reaction to the bombings was swift. Continued...
