Indonesian police have redoubled efforts to track militants blamed for a suicide car bomb attack on the Australian embassy, and released video recordings of the powerful blast. The recordings, from two security cameras on opposite sides of the street from each other, showed a box-shaped van passing on its way to the embassy, on one of Jakarta's busiest roads, before blowing apart in a flash of smoke and debris, shaking trees and buildings. Then the images blurred. In one scene a man who appears to be a security guard on the opposite side of the street, some 100m from the centre of the blast, doubles over as its full force hits him just before he is covered in a cloud of smoke and dust.
