Mall bombing in Jakarta
2001-09-23
  • (AP) - Two explosions rocked a busy shopping district in east Jakarta on Sunday, police said. Details were sketchy and there were no immediate reports of deaths or injuries. Police were trying to establish if the explosions, on the second level of a multistory parking lot of the Atrium shopping mall, were the result of bombs or were accidental. Radio station, El Shinta, said at least 10 fire trucks had extinguished a fire started by the blasts.

    The mall has been hit by bombings and other attacks in previous months. The motive for recent bombings remains unclear, but some of the suspects have been linked to a militant Muslim group in Malaysia and Islamic paramilitaries in the Maluku islands.
