Two molotov cocktails exploded at Tempo magazine office in Jl. Proklamasi, Menteng, South Jakarta early Tuesday. There were no injuries in the incident.

Tri Prianto, one one of the office's security guards told tempointeraktif.com that the cocktails were thrown at around 2:40 a.m. by two people on a motorcycle.

The fire was quickly extinguished. The Menteng Police are handling the case.

Last week’s edition of Tempo magazine ran a cover story on the suspicious bank accounts of several high-ranking officers, a controversial issue that has been in the media spotlight since 2005.
