Major bomb blast at Australian Embassy in Jakarta

Family members present and accounted for. My stepfather was just up the street when it happened, about to return to the Embassy from a meeting.


Apparently none of the Australian staff were killed, but several of the Embassy's security and gardening staff were. Embassy operations will probably downgrade to critical staff only for a while. No idea at this stage whether it's linked to the upcoming Federal Election. Will post more inside news as it comes to hand.
