A suspicious object was found at one of the entrances to the Jakarta Convention Center complex in Senayan, Central Jakarta, where the ASEAN Summit is scheduled to be held on May 7 and 8, security personnel say.
The object was found near a car parked 100 meters from the first entrance to the complex.
The entrance has been temporarily sealed off while the bomb squad conducts a field examination of the suspicious item and surrounding area.
Military and police personnel have also been deployed to check the surrounding area.
Police have been on high alert following the several bomb threats in recent months.
