Hotel Bombing: New Questions About Indonesian Security

More than a dozen people were killed and more than 100 injured in a bombing at the JW Marriott hotel in central Jakarta on Aug. 5. The prime suspect is Jemaah Islamiyah, a regional Islamist militant organization linked to al Qaeda. Though bombings in Jakarta are fairly frequent — there have been five so far this year — the attack occurred at what was believed to be a relatively secure hotel at a time of heightened security in the Indonesian capital.
