When I woke up this morning in my "home town" now in Jakarta, I heard this sudden blast in a local television -- very deep regret. It is for the second time, a deadly bomb blasted in JW Marriot Hotel in Mega Kuningan Jakarta (at least 9 dead, and more than 50 injured) after the previous blast in the same hotel on 2003 (12 dead, and more than 100 injured). The second bomb, this morning exploded in another five star hotel Ritz-Carlton -- not far from JW Marriot only about five minutes after the blast in Marriot. High explosive bombs, by two suicide bombers...

It happened only one day before the famous British team, Manchester United come and will spend three nights at Ritz-Carlton. Of course, MU cancelled the visit and also the exhibition match versus Indonesian national team on next Monday...

Only two days ago I went to that area, visiting the Chinese Embassy just several hundred meters distance from Marriot...

My deep condolence to all the victim's family
