The opening as it read in 2005
Australian embassy at Kuningan District, Central Jakarta, at about 10:30 local time (03:30 UTC ), killing several people and wounding over 140 others.1 Damage to the nearby Chinese embassy was also reported. Numerous office building surrounding the embassy were also damaged by the blast, injuring many workers inside, mostly by broken glass. A dispute ensued as to how many civilians lost their lives after the explosion: local health authorities in Jakarta reported 9 deaths, compared to 11 deaths reported by Australian officials.2 Nonetheless, all Australians working at the embassy were reported alive. Among the victims killed were an embassy security guard, a visa applicant, an embassy gardener and a pedestrian. Australian Prime Minister John Howard expressed his "utter dismay at this event" and Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said "this was aimed at the Australian Embassy, there's no question of that" and that the investigators' "suspicions turn to Jemaah Islamiah ". A grainy photograph of a white delivery van suspected of carrying the bomb and the attackers was released by Indonesian police. Minister Downer claimed that a mobile phone text message was sent to Indonesian authorities about 45 minutes before the bomb detonated, warning of attacks unless the leader of Jemaah Islamiah Abu Bakar Bashir was released and said that the warning was not delivered to the Australian Federal Police until several hours after the bombing. Indonesian police denied receiving such a message. (Newsday) This was the third recent major attack involving Australians or Australian targets in Indonesia, after the 2002 Bali terrorist bombing , and the 2003 J.W. The executors of that attack, Jemaah Islamiyah , were also head suspects for this bombing. On November 24 , Indonesian police arrested four suspects wanted for the bombing. Among them was Darmawan , a key lieutenant of fugitive Malaysian terrorists Azahari Husin and Noordin Mohammed Top , senior operatives of an al-Qaeda linked terror group, Jemaah Islamiyah .3
