Attacks in Jakarta: suspicions focus on Jemaah Islamiyah
Jakarta (AsiaNews / Agencies) - The Indonesian police are now closer to the identification of the two suicide bombers who yesterday detonated bombs at the Marriott Hotel and the Ritz Carlton.
So far there has been no claim of responsibility for the attack, but suspicions are focused on the terrorist group Jemaah Islamiyah (JI). The dynamics of the two explosions are unusual compared to other terrorist attacks in the past leaving possibilities wide open. Some analysts note however that only JI has the skills and connections necessary to put into action bomb attacks in heavily supervised places such as the two hotels hit yesterday.
Investigators are now focusing on investigations of human remains found on the scene of explosions and examining a closed circuit video from the Marriot of a person who enters the hotel's restaurant with a suitcase and a backpack shortly before the explosion.
