The day before, the first suspect in involvement in this terrorist attack was arrested. Today, the Indonesian police spread his photobot. All Indonesian newspapers published an image and signs of a man for about 30 years, presumably a native of South Sumatra.

Sonny, however, could not report either the name or address of the buyer, describing only his appearance.

The Central newspaper KOMPAS, citing the National Police Commander, General Dai Bakhtiara, reported on Thursday that the explosive device at the Marriott hotel was surrounded by cans of combustible, which served as an additional reason for the explosion of fires, in particular, in the buildings adjacent to the hotel.

According to the Bakhtiara Dai, explosive substances used in the Jakart terrorist attack are similar to those that were used by criminals when organizing explosions on the island of Bali on October 12, 2002, who claimed the lives of 202 people from 21 countries of the world. Almost a ton of such explosives was discovered by the police in July during the arrest of nine suspects of involvement in the activities of the Jemaa Islami International Terrorist organization.

This organization is believed to be responsible for the Balian attack. The police believe that the explosion in Marriott is also the work of its members.

"Jemaa Islami" - a radical Muslim group with a center in Malaysia is included in the number of international terrorist organizations. Its members advocate the creation of an Islamic state in Southeast Asia, covering modern Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Bruna and part of the Philippines.
