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),[4] 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.[2][5] Seven people were killed, including three Australians, two Dutches, an Indonesian and a New Zealander.[2] More than 50 people were injured in the blasts.[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 previous serious terrorist attack in Indonesia.[9]
