Coordinated bomb attacks have hit two luxury hotels in the Indonesian capital Jakarta, killing at least six people, including foreigners, and injuring a number of others.
"There were explosions heard from two separate places, one the JW Marriott, the other in the Ritz Carlton. We are still trying to check because right now we are still helping the victims," South Jakarta Police Chief Firman Santyabudi told Indonesian Metro TV.
A caller to Fairfax Radio in Melbourne said his son, an Australian, was among the injured.
"He was in the building and all of a sudden there was a massive explosion and he was bleeding from the left leg," the caller said.
Indonesia's Jemaah Islamiyah, an al-Qaeda linked group, is believed to be behind the attacks.

Once again, terrorists have killed and wounded innocent people. My sympathies to the victims of these tragic attacks and their families. If you want to know more I have collected some good sites or articles (around 200) to get lots of latest information about Jakarta Bombings of 2009 at the Marriott and Ritz Carlton Hotels (covers the news, videos, pictures etc.,).
