of 36, walked unsteadily carrying a black bag which seems very heavy, Metro

scene, but it is still unknown yet whether one of them is belonging to Ibrahim.
The perpetrators of the bombings assembled the bombs
at room 1808 at JW Marriott Hotel. They ordered the room on July 10 and occupied
it at 15:01 Jakarta time (0901 GMT) on July 15, two days before conducting their
deadly acts. Police found active bomb in a black laptop computer bag after the
blasts.

The blasts in JW Marriott Hotel and Ritz Carlton
Hotel in Jakarta's main business district occurred after four-years absence of
major terrorist acts in the country.
Indonesia had been attacked by a series of terrorist
attacks from 2000 to 2005, including Bali bombings, the JW Marriott explosion
and the Australian embassy bombings in Jakarta that killed more than 250 people.
The police and analysts said that the bombings in the
two hotels were led by a breakaway of Jemaah Islamiyah led by Malaysian fugitive
Noordin Moh Top, who had organized the major bombings in Indonesia, targeting
foreigners and facilities. He has been main target of the
police.
