Nine people were killed in explosions at the Ritz-Carlton and Marriott hotels in Jakarta July 17. Some of the victims were attending an Indonesian business forum held at the Marriott. Timothy Mackay, CEO of Holcim Indonesia, local unit of Swiss cement maker Holcim Ltd, was killed. Noke Kiroyan, a former chairman of Rio Tinto [2]'s Indonesian operations, was hospitalized. Also injured was James Castle, founder of forum host CastleAsia. No group claimed responsibility, but authorities suspect Jemaah Islamiyah [3], which attacked the Marriott [4] in 2003.
