| Indonesia: Two bodies still unidentified after Jakarta hotel blasts |
| 2009-07-28 |
| [ADN Kronos] Two unidentified bodies from the recent bomb blasts that ripped through the JW Marriot and Ritz-Carlton hotels earlier this month remained at the National Police Sukanto Hospital, Kramat Jati, East Jakarta. Police said on Monday they were suspicious that the two were the suicide bombers in the blasts on 17 July that killed nine people and injured 53 others. So far, police have identified seven victims of the blasts, named as: Nathan Verity, Craig Senger, Garth McEvoy, Timothy McKay, Evert Mocodompis, Pieter Burer, and EJC Keaning. The names of the last two victims were released by police over the weekend. They are Dutch citizens and their bodies were flown to the Netherlands late on Sunday. Al-Qaeda linked fugitive Noordin M. Top is connected to the bombings, top government anti-terrorism officials believe. Top is wanted for plotting the Bali bombings of 2002 which killed 202 people and for other Indonesian attacks. His main accomplice, Azahari Husin, was killed by police in 2005. Top escaped a police raid in 2006 and has continued to evade capture. Police have said the same explosives were used in the Bali bombings as in this month's hotel bombings in Jakarta. |
