Just before 8:00am on 17 July 2009, two explosions were detonated approximately five minutes apart in Jakarta, Indonesia – the first in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel and the second in the JW Marriott Hotel. A third bomb that had not been detonated was found in a room on the 18th floor of the JW Marriott Hotel. 

Nine people were killed, among them three Australians, two Dutch nationals, three Indonesians and one New Zealander. Two of the Indonesians killed were believed to be suicide bombers. A further 53 people were injured. 

No group claimed responsibility for the explosions.
