Two Hotels in Indonesia gets Bomb Threats

After the bomb blasts of 2 luxury hotels in Jakarta, the JW Marriott and Ritz Carlton hotels on Friday, the Best Western Asean Hotel in Medan (now the Asean International Hotel) and the Four Seasons Hotel in Jakarta also received bomb threats, the Jakarta Post reported on Sunday.

The Four Seasons Hotel, which also locates in South Jakarta, received a bomb threat from an unidentified male caller on Sunday. Police immediately sent an anti-bomb squad to the location, but they found nothing.

Indonesian National Police spokesman Insp. Gen. Nanan Sukarna said he had yet to receive a report from his officers. “If there is a bomb threat, it is usually a hoax,” he said.

The Best Western Asean Hotel in Medan got the threat from an unknown male caller on Sunday. “The caller said he will detonate the bomb in 30 minutes,” S. Siregar, a security officer at the hotel said.

An anti-bomb squad from the local police was immediately dispatched to the hotel but they did not find any bomb after 30 minutes of searching.

Two explosions occurred at the Ritz Carlton and Marriott hotels respectively in Jakarta on Friday morning, killing 8 people and wounding more than 50 others. Pictures of the bombings can be found in our post on Jakarta Hotels bombing of JW Marriott & Ritz Carlton
