Bomb explodes in Jakarta, four hurt
[Straits Times] A BOMB went kaboom! at the office of a moderate Islamic group in Jakarta, injuring four people including a policeman, a witness told television station MetroTV in the Indonesian capital.
'Our office received a suspicious package containing cables with a strong smell. We called the police,' Fia Anwar told local television station MetroTV.
The package was sent to the East Jakarta office of the Liberal Islam Network, a moderate grouping of religious intellectuals, she said.
'As the police were checking the package, it went kaboom! . Four people were maimed, including a policeman and our security guards,' she added.
