Indonesian police say suicide bombers were behind a pair of attacks on two luxury hotels in the capital, Jakarta.
Nine people were killed and several others wounded when the bombs detonated almost simultaneously early on Friday at the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels. As Al Jazeera’s Step Vaessen reports, closed circuit television footage caught the moment one of the bombs exploded in the lobby of the Ritz.
Jemmah Islamia has denied responsibility but intelligence experts suggest that the organization may have splintered with one faction taking a hard line approach and resuming a bombing campaign.
