July 17th, 2009 - 10:13 pm ICT by IANS ( Leave a comment )Washington, July 17 (DPA) US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton condemned Friday the bombing of two prominent hotels in Indonesia’s capital Jakarta that killed at least nine people and injured dozens.
“We condemn these senseless acts of violence and stand ready to provide assistance if the Indonesian government requests us to do so,” Clinton, who was arriving in India Friday at the start of a week-long trip to Asia, said in a statement.
“The attacks reflect the viciousness of violent extremists and remind us that the threat of terrorism remains very real,” she said.
Two suicide bombings rocked the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels in Jakarta Friday morning. More than 40 people were injured. Three Australians and one New Zealander are believed to be among the nine dead.
