Incidents

[edit]
Main articles: 2003 Marriott Hotel bombing and 2009 Jakarta bombings

It has been bombed twice, first in 2003 and the second time in 2009 by terrorists. On 5 August 2003, a suicide bomber detonated a car bomb outside the lobby of the JW Marriott Hotel, killing twelve people and injuring 150. Among those killed were eight Indonesian, one Dutch, one Danish, and two Chinese people. The hotel was viewed as a Western symbol, and had been used by the United States embassy for various events.[3] The hotel was closed for five weeks and reopened to the public on 8 September.

On 17 July 2009, at around 7:50 am local time (0:50 UTC), the JW Marriott Hotel and the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Jakarta, were hit by separate bombings five minutes apart.[4] Three of the seven victims who were killed were Australians, two from the Netherlands, and one each from New Zealand and Indonesia.[5] More than 50 people were injured in the blasts.[5][6][7] Both blasts were caused by suicide bombers, who checked into the hotels as paying guests several days earlier.[8] The twin suicide bombings came four years after the last serious terrorist attack in Indonesia.[9]
