2009 Jakarta bombings
A terrorist bombing took place in Jakarta, Indonesia, on 17 July 2009. At around 07:47 until 07:57 WIB (00:47-00:57 UTC), the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton Hotels in Setiabudi, South Jakarta, were hit by two suicide bombers. The attacks were carried out five minutes apart. Seven people were killed, including three Australians, two Dutches, an Indonesian and a New Zealander. More than 50 people were injured in the blasts.
