The bombs that ripped through the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels last Friday were apparently assembled in a guest room by Islamic radicals who then walked among businessmen and diplomats before detonating their devices. Out of the 16 men who were at a Marriott breakfast table for a briefing organised by consulting firm Castle Asia, 4 were killed, including a New Zealander and 3 Australians, and the rest were wounded.
“This particular bombing has struck a bit harder than the other ones, because things had seemed to be going so well in Indonesia in the last few years,” stated Australian sports consultant Geoffrey Gold, who was friends with several men at the meeting, describing the mayhem at the 2 hotels which left at least 8 dead and 55 injured as “shocking”.
