The UN Security Council strongly condemned on Friday the bomb attacks at two hotels in Jakarta, Indonesia, and called for bringing to justice those behind the terrorist attacks.

 Unanimously adopting a presidential statement, the 15-member body condemned "in the strongest terms" the attacks that have caused "numerous deaths and injuries."

The council urged the Indonesian government to bring "perpetrators, organizers, financiers, and sponsors of these reprehensible acts of terrorism to justice," and called on all states to cooperate in this regard.

Speaking to the press, Indonesia's UN Ambassador Marty Natalegawa welcomed the "timely adoption" of the statement by the Security Council.

He said that it is premature to speculate who the perpetrators are and that the Indonesian authorities will make deliberate investigations on the attacks.

"Let me assure you, these people who perpetrated these heinous acts cannot run away from the law forever ... and will be brought to justice," he said, adding that the Indonesian government looks forward to international support in this regard.

In the statement, the council reiterated its determination to combat all forms of terrorism, in accordance with its responsibilities under the Charter of the United Nations.

The bomb attacks, which targeted two luxurious hotels in Jakarta, JW Marriott and Ritz Carlton, have killed at least nine people and wounded 50 others.
