8 Americans hurt in deadly Java blasts
Suicide bombers evade security by posing as guests, kill 8 at Jakarta hotels
JAKARTA, Indonesia - Suicide bombers who checked in as guests smuggled explosives into American-branded luxury hotels in Indonesia's capital and set off a pair of heavy blasts that killed eight people and wounded more than 50, investigators said Friday. Eight Americans were reported to be among the injured.
The near-simultaneous bombings ended a four-year lull in terror attacks in the world's most populous Muslim nation. At least 18 foreigners were among the dead and wounded.
The blasts at the J.W. Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels, located side-by-side in an upscale business district in Jakarta, blew out windows and scattered debris and glass across the street, kicking up a thick plume of smoke. Facades of both hotels were reduced to twisted metal. An Associated Press reporter at the scene saw bodies being shuttled away in police trucks.
