just in...Ritz Carlton and Marriott
JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesia's Metro TV reported four people had died in two separate explosions on Friday at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel and Marriott Hotel in central Jakarta.
"There were explosions heard from two separate places, one the JW Marriott, the other in the Ritz Carlton. We are still trying to check because right now we are still helping the victims," said South Jakarta Police Chief Firman Santyabudi.
Witnesses at the scene told Metro TV that the injured, including Indonesians and foreigners, were seen being taken away in ambulances.
"Some windows of the Ritz-Carlton building have been shattered, mostly on the lower section. I'm looking at it from my office," said Myra Junor, who works at a nearby building.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Bombs have exploded at the Ritz-Carlton and Marriott hotels in the Indonesian capital on Friday, ripping the facade off the Ritz. Police say at least four people are injured.
Debris and shattered glass littered the street outside the neighboring hotels in an upscale Jakarta neighborhood. Ambulances were being shuttled into the area.
A man jogging by the hotels said he first heard a loud explosion at the Marriott. Five minutes later, a bomb followed at the Ritz.
Alex Asmasubrata said he saw four bodies inside the Marriott. One had its stomach blown out. An Associated Press reporter saw three injured taken away from the Ritz.
Police, however, would only confirm four people were injured.
The Marriott hotel was attacked in 2003, when 12 died. Southeast Asian terror network Jemaah Islamiyah was blamed in that blast.

No bombs, no protests only sunny skies and PAP。
the dead (if they were men) will enjoy 9999 virgins in heaven plus the bombers' grand grand mother, grand mother, mother, wives. sisters, daughters, grand daughters, grand grand daughters, their friends' wives and daughters, their relatives wives and daughters, their classmates wives and daughters, their colleagues wives and daughters....
Lightning does not strike at the same spot twice, but apparently bombs do. JW Mariott again? Well this should teach those lazy indo mata to slack, but its just normal to after a hiatus of bombing. Who still gives a shit about Osama Bin Laden after so long?

CNN's Anderson Cooper interviewed a man who works for local TV, Greg Wollstencroft, who lives across the street from the Ritz-Carlton and lived in the hotel for 12 months. Given his profession and his familiarity with the hotel, the interview was the most interesting one I've read or heard so far tonight. The Ritz-Carlton blast is said to have happened about five minutes after the J.W. Marriott blast. Here's what he told Cooper:
Wollstencroft said he'd just arrived back at his home after a walk. He saw the first bomb go off, so he went to his home to get his iPhone and as he was walking back to the street, the second bomb went off at the Ritz-Carlton. Despite the potential risks of a second bomb, Wollstencroft went to the scene to get a first-hand account. As he walked into the chaotic scene, he saw what he thinks was the mangled body of a suicide bomber. It was so mangled he could not tell its nationality. "I saw the body just before it was covered. It was so badly mutilated, you couldn't tell."
The bomb appeared to have gone off in the restaurant, he said. "The inside of the Airlangga restaurant has been totally devestated," he said. Since it was early morning, Wollstencroft told Cooper that he imagined that many people would have been inside eating breakfast at the restaurant.
In response to Cooper's question about hotel security, Wollstencroft said that "it's probably got the highest security of any hotel in Indonesia. I just don't know how someone could get in there with a bomb...given the level of security."
Given the 2003 bombing of the J.W. Marriott, he said, the Ritz-Carlton's security had been stepped up. People can't drive to the lobby, but have to come in from the back, he said. There are major metal barriers, vehicles are searched and people walking in see armed guards at a checkpoint. Visitors have to stop and have their bags searched before going through metal detectors, he said.
Pay money and psycho the hotel staff with 999 virgins on the other side. That is how you get in.
Third bomb as toll hits 9
July 17, 2009 -
A car bomb has exploded near a shopping complex in the north of the Indonesian capital, more than two hours after two luxury hotels in the city centre were bombed, police have told local radio.
"There's been another bombing at a toll road gate,'' a senior police officer told reporters outside the JW Marriott hotel in central Jakarta which was bombed earlier.
The hotel blasts killed nine people and injured around 50 this morning, Indonesia's security minister said.
