'Blast caused by high explosive, possibly car bomb'

JAKARTA (JP): Jakarta Police chief Insp. Gen. Firman Gani said on Thursday the blast damaging Australian Embassy and nearby high rise buildings in Kuningan, South Jakarta was mostly caused by a suicide car bomb using high explosive.

"We found a chunk of human torso inside the Plaza 89 front yard across the street from the Embassy," Firman said.

"The bomb was a high explosive one although we do not know yet what substances were used. Glasses in a radius of 500 meters from the embassy were shattered," he added.

Firman also said at least 10 cars, 2 motorcycles and 2 Metromini minibuses were destroyed by the explosion.

The explosion created a crater of 30 meters by 30 meters which is larger than the crater created by JW Marriott Hotel bombing in August 2002 of 20 meters by 20 meters.

Police found at least four bodies inside cars and onmotorcycles near the explosion center.

At least nine people were reportedly dead and more than 90 people were injured. (dmr/nvn)

At least eight people dead as bomb rocks Aussie embassy in Jakarta

JAKARTA (JP): At least eight people were reportedly dead following a powerful blast outside the Australian Embassy in Jakarta on Jl. HR Rasuna Said in South Jakarta.

The explosion caused extensive damage to the Australian Embassy building and other high rise buildings nearby.

Elshinta radio reported that three bodies were evacuated to nearby MMC Hospital while another five were sent to Medistra Hospital on Jl. Gatot Subroto.

More than 90 injured people were also admitted to the MMC Hospita.

The bomb went off at about 10:30 a.m. in the busy Kuningan business and financial district along Jl. HR Rasuna Said.

There was no detailed information on the explosive with reports saying it went off from either a car or a motorcycle.

Traffic leading to the district was heavily congested as police and traffic wardens seal off the area from motorists.

In recent weeks several Western embassies, including those of the United States and Australia, have warned their citizens about possible attacks by militants.

Last year, 12 people died in a suicide attack on the JW Marriott hotel in the same district. In 2002, 202 people, mostly Westerners travelgoers, died in an attack on two nightclubs on the tourist island of Bali. (***)
