It’s happen eagain. Today morning, Jakarta the capital of Indonesia has socked with a pair of powerful bombs exploded at two luxury hotels, JW Marriott and Ritz Carlton Hotels in an upscale Jakarta business district Friday. Reported that Bombing: 9 Killed At 2 Hotels In Indonesian Capital.

The Jakarta bombings come less than a decade after Jemaah Islamiyah first bombed the JW Marriott Hotel. Do you think Jemaah Islamiyah behind all of the Jakarta Bombings 2009 at the Marriott and Ritz Carlton Hotels today?

The JW Marriott Hotel in Jakarta was first bombed on August 5, 2003. Jemaah Islamiyah was credited for the deadly blast that killed 12, injured 150. The 2003 Marriott bombing was effectuated by suicide bomber just outside the hotel.

Thereafter, on August 11, 2003, al-Qaeda claimed responsibility issuing a statement to Al Jazeera which read as follows:

“This operation is part of a series of operations that Dr Ayman al-Zawahiri has promised to carry out. [It is] a fatal slap on the face of America and its allies in Muslim Jakarta, where faith has been denigrated by the dirty American presence and the discriminatory Australian presence.”

The hotel would not reopen for five weeks. And Today, just see the videos below, windows on the lower floors of the Marriott have reportedly been blown out. The videos appears to be from Indonesian TV, and shows the extent of the damage to the two hotels - Ritz-Carlton and Marriott - including blown-out windows and scattered debris and glass:

British Open Leaderboard 2009

Here is the 2009 British Open Championship Leaderboard held at the Turnberry Golf Course, South Ayrshire, Scotland.

59-year old Tom Watson take the leaderboard on the first day of the 2009 British Open, with another champion Mark Calcavecchia sitting closely behind in second. And 20-year old Rory McIlroy stepped up to the challenge according to telegraph.co.uk, at the Ailsa course.

With his sure putting stroke giving him birdies at the second and seventh holes, he seemed to adopt a fearless approach to start. But when he pulled his drive into thick rough, he appeared slightly challenged at the eighth, and attempted to make the green in two.

But it wasn’t going right and he could only advance 30 yards into the deeper grass, which then took 20 people four minutes to find the ball. Although Rory didn’t let that deter him, as he managed to retrieve his game and finished on a solid 69.
