"Suicide bombers kill 8 at Jakarta Marriott, Ritz" by Anthony Deutsch, Associated Press Writer | July 17, 2009
JAKARTA, Indonesia --Two days ago, they checked into room 1808 at the swank J.W. Marriott Hotel -- smuggling explosives past metal detectors and security guards. Behind the closed door, investigators say the suicide attackers then assembled the bombs set off Friday at the Marriott and the Ritz-Carlton next door.
The blasts killed at least eight people and wounded more than 50 -- and broke a four-year lull in terrorism in the world's most populous Muslim nation. Although significantly weakened by a crackdown in recent years, the attacks indicated Islamic militants still have the means to mount deadly assaults, even in heavily protected areas of Indonesia's capital.
And CUI BONO?
The bombings also exposed the challenge of securing luxury hotels frequented by Westerners, a popular target for terrorists. A group of more than a dozen executives with American and other Western companies was holding a regular Friday morning meeting near the Marriott restaurant where the explosives were detonated, and many of them were among the victims, hospital lists showed.
At least eight Americans were among those injured in the two blasts. Indonesia was last hit by terrorists in October 2005, when three suicide bombers with explosives-laden backpacks killed 20 people at restaurants on the resort island of Bali. The Jakarta Marriott was targeted six years ago in a car bombing that left 12 people dead. Both attacks were blamed on the Southeast Asian terrorist group Jemaah Islamiyah.
Friday's attackers evaded hotel security and smuggled explosives into the Marriott by posing as guests and assembling the bombs in room 1808, where an undetonated device was later found by police. "They had been using the room as their 'command post' since July 15, and today they were supposed to check out," police chief Gen. Bambang Hendarso Danuri said. At the Marriott, such a "deluxe" room, with marble-decorated bathrooms and plush furnishings, goes for about $200 a night.
Security video footage captured the moment of the explosion. The brief, grainy images show a man in a cap pulling a bag on wheels across the Marriott lobby toward the restaurant, followed by a flash and a blast of white smoke. "There was a big explosion followed by a shock wave," said Ahmad Rochadi, a security guard at the Marriott who was checking cars in the basement. "I rushed upstairs and saw smoke billowing from the lobby."
The blast occurred as the Marriott was hosting a regular business meeting organized by the consultancy firm CastleAsia, said the group, which is headed by an American. An Australian think tank, the Strategic Policy Institute, had warned that Jemaah Islamiyah might launch new attacks just a day before Friday's deadly strike.
International luxury hotels have become a common target for extremists in recent years, with at least eight bombings at major chains since 2003. In Indonesia, security is tight at five-star hotels, where guests must typically walk through metal detectors and vehicles are inspected. But many visitors say searches are often cursory.
Why is the term INSIDE JOB creeping into my brain, hmmm?
Defense analyst Paul Beaver, former top editor at Jane's Defense Weekly, said putting in place the kind of stringent security measures needed to help prevent attacks is difficult for hotels -- and risks making properties that are supposed to be welcoming to weary travelers feel like prisons.
"You don't want to embarrass your guests with security measures," he said, noting that plotters in dozens of countries can also alter tactics based on experience gained from prior attacks. "This is the risk we take. There are a number of attacks like these waiting to happen."
In Indonesia, he said, the culprits seemed to have learned from hotel attacks in the Indian financial capital of Mumbai in November, when a three-day siege of the Taj Mahal hotel, the Oberoi's Trident hotel and eight other sites left 164 dead....

That was where the Globe cut the article for my printed paper.
Authorities did not immediately name a suspect, but suspicion fell on Jemaah Islamiyah or its allies. The al-Qaida-linked network is blamed for past attacks in Indonesia, including the 2003 bombing at the Marriott in which 12 people died. Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who is widely credited with leading a crackdown on extremism, said the attack was carried out by a "terrorist group" and vowed to arrest the perpetrators.
President Barack Obama condemned the "outrageous attacks" and said the U.S. government stands ready to help its ally in the effort to combat extremism. Both explosions were at the lower levels of high-rise buildings in the prestigious Mega Kuningan neighborhood.
Anti-terrorist forces with automatic weapons rushed to the site, and authorities blocked access to the hotels in a district also home to foreign embassies. Two of the wounded were employees of Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold, Inc., a spokesman for the Phoenix-based company said.
Freeport operates the world's largest gold mine in Indonesia's restive eastern Papua province, where several attacks have occurred in the past week near the firm's sprawling Grasberg mining complex, leaving at least 15 people dead or wounded.
Something else the Globe never elected to tell us print readers!
There was no claim of responsibility for Friday's hotel attacks, but terrorism analyst Rohan Gunaratna said the likely perpetrators were from Jemaah Islamiyah.
The Australian Strategic Policy Institute said in a paper released Thursday that tensions in the group's leadership and the release of former members from prison "raise the possibility that splinter factions might now seek to re-energize the movement through violent attacks."

"Fugitive terrorist suspected in Jakarta blasts; Investigators, medical teams search for clues" by Niniek Karmini, Associated Press | July 19, 2009
JAKARTA, Indonesia - The mangled faces of two suspected suicide attackers may be the main clue linking the bombings of two luxury American hotels in the Indonesian capital with a notorious Al Qaeda-linked militant network that has struck many times before.
Sigh. I'm so sick of the propaganda.
Investigators worked with medical teams yesterday to reconstruct the remains of the culprits believed to have set off explosions that tore through the restaurants of the J.W. Marriott and Ritz-Carlton at breakfast time the day before. Seven were killed, plus the two suspected attackers, and 50 wounded, many of them foreigners.
The method, target, and type of bombs used in Friday’s attacks immediately raised suspicions of involvement by the Jemaah Islamiyah terrorist group and Noordin M. Top, the fugitive Malaysian national who heads a particularly violent offshoot of the network.
While National Police spokesman Major General Nanan Soekarna said authorities “cannot say for sure whether Noordin M. Top led this bombing,’’ others were more certain. “I’m 200 percent sure this was his work,’’ said Nasir Abbas, a former Jemaah Islamiyah leader turned police informant who has worked with police on investigations into Indonesia’s last three terrorist attacks.
A police investigator said yesterday that Noordin was the most likely suspect. “Considering the target, the location, and content of the bombs, it was clearly the work of Noordin,’’ the investigator said, declining to give his name because he wasn’t authorized to speak to the media.
Can you say PATSY, readers?
The investigator said a hotel receptionist told police that one of the suspected bombers who checked into the hotel days before gave his name as “Nurdin.’’ He gave a $1,000 cash deposit because he had no credit card, he said.
Yeah, that cinches it.
Noordin, an engineer and alleged bomb-maker, is accused of masterminding four major strikes in Indonesia with the help of Al Qaeda that killed more than 240 people, including the 2002 and 2005 Bali bombings, a strike on the J.W. Marriott in 2003, and a huge blast at the Australian Embassy in Jakarta in 2004 when a ton of explosives was hidden in a delivery van.
Police said they were also following leads in the Cilacap region of Central Java, where explosives were reportedly found buried in a garden last week at the house of Noordin’s father-in-law, who is also at large. “We can’t say for certain which network is involved in this bombing,’’ Soekarna said.
Investigators have been examining body parts and other forensic evidence from Friday’s attacks in an attempt to identify the two suspected bombers, one of whom is believed to be Indonesian.
Their bodies were badly damaged in the explosions - they were decapitated by the force - and confirming their identity could help determine whether they knew Noordin. Authorities say the bombers posed as guests before setting off the pair of blasts. They say the attackers evaded hotel security, smuggling explosives into the Marriott two days ahead of time and apparently assembled the bombs on the 18th floor, where an undetonated device was found after the explosions.
WTF? They were going to GO BACK for ANOTHER SUICIDE RUN?
Oh, the STENCH of the FALSE-FLAG!
The attack occurred as the Marriott was hosting a regular meeting of top foreign executives of major companies in Indonesia organized by the consultancy firm CastleAsia, said the group, which is headed by an American. The blasts at the high-rise hotels, located side-by-side in an upscale business district in Jakarta, blew out windows and scattered debris and glass across the street, clouding the structures in thick smoke.
Security videos captured the moment of the explosion in the Marriott. The brief, grainy images show a man wearing a cap and pulling a bag on wheels walking across the lobby toward the restaurant, followed by a flash and smoke filling the air.
