Presidential security force combs blast site prior to SBY visit
The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Sat, 07/18/2009 1:10 PM
A team of the Presidential Security Force (Paspampres) are combing the
suicide blast site at Ritz-Carlton hotel, apparently preparing for
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's visit later in the day.
Kompas.com reported that more than 10 Paspampres personnel were combing Airlangga Restaurant, which was damaged after one of Friday's two sequential suicide bombs blew up in the facility.
Authorities, however, have yet to confirm what time Yudhoyono would come.
Yudhoyono had planned to visit the blast hours after the incident, but was told not to by security officials.
The pair of explosions killed at least eight and injured at least 50 others. (dre)
