A pair of powerful bombs exploded at two luxury hotels in an upscale Jakarta business district Friday, killing 9 and wounding at least 50, officials said.
The blasts at the neighboring Ritz-Carlton and Marriott hotels blew out windows and scattered debris and glass across the street.
An Indonesian security minister said nine people were killed. South Jakarta police Col. Firman Bundi earlier said that four of the dead were foreigners.
At the Metropolitan Medical Center, a list was posted with the names of people wounded. An official at the registration office said 11 were foreigners. She declined to give her name because she was not authorized to speak to the media.
Alex Asmasubrata, who was jogging by the hotels, said he first heard a loud explosion at the Marriott. Five minutes later, a bomb followed at the Ritz.
The Marriott hotel was attacked in 2003, when 12 died. Southeast Asian terror network Jemaah Islamiyah was blamed in that blast, but there has been a massive crackdown by anti-terror officials, and it has been more than three years since a major terrorist attack in Indonesia and the network.
The Manchester United football team was scheduled to stay at the Ritz on Saturday and Sunday nights for a friendly match against the Indonesian All Stars, the Indonesian Football association said.
International hotels, which by their nature must be open and accessible for visitors and guests, make attractive targets for terror attacks. Complete security is virtually impossible, despite security barriers, metal detectors and high-tech surveillance gear.

What do we know about the victims? Now we could see again an action of the religion of "peace".

A country with 99% Muslims I hope the death toll hits 1000
-
Now, why would you even suspect Muslims were responsible ?
Seriously though, probably some of Obama's classmates. But we'll soon be told they're actually Mossad agents.

Earlier they might have claimed that Imam Samudra was a mossad man, but since he was executed on 9 November 2008, they may have to blame it on someone else.
Muslamic terrorism has no end, till their end.

Quranimal controlled media blaming it on the Mossad in 5... 4... 3...

The real crime is the 100,000 - 500,000 Christian and animist people still being killed right now in Papua and the Spice Islands by the Islamic Indonesian government.
