Explosions have hit two luxury hotels in the Indonesian capital Jakarta, say police reports. The country's Metro TV reported that one blast was heard and felt at the Ritz-Carlton and another hit the Marriott Hotel. At least three people were injured in the Marriott blast, the Associated Press quoted police as saying. One witness told Reuters some windows on the lowers floors of the Ritz-Carlton hotel had been shattered.

There are now reports that both bombs were inside the restaurants serving breakfast at 8am. These restaurants would have been packed with foreigners, mainly business people at that time. It is a new development that they have succeeded in getting the bombs inside the hotels, normally they drive into the security gates and blow up there.
Not good whatever way you look at it.
