Grenade found outside Jakarta Hilton hotel after terror warnings
A hand grenade was found in the grounds of the Hilton hotel in Jakarta, after warnings from Australia that extremists were planning to attack the chain's Indonesian hotels.
The grenade was discovered inside a rusty tin by a gardener working outside the Hilton and later retrieved by a police bomb squad alerted by the hotel's security, said Wuri, an offical at Jakarta's police headquarters.
Security has been stepped up at Indonesia's three Hiltons after the Australian government last week said it had credible intelligence militants were planning an imminent attack, possibly targeting a branch of the hotel.
The world's largest Muslim-populated country has suffered a series of deadly explosions blamed on Islamic extremists over the past few years, culminating in the October 2002 Bali bombings which killed 202 people, 88 of them Australian.
The hand grenade was found in a small patch of garden next to the back exit gate of the sprawling hotel complex in the south of the city, the police official said.
She said 30 officers, including a bomb squad team, had been deployed to guard the hotel.
