In Indonesia, bomb blasts ripped through luxury hotels in the capital, Jakarta on Friday - killing at least nine people and wounding dozens. The bombers targeted the Marriott Hotel, which was previously car- bombed in 2003, and the Ritz-Carlton. Both are popular with tourists and international business travellers and the Indonesian President says the attacks are bound to hurt confidence in Southeast Asia's biggest economy.
