After the bomb blasts in Jakarta' s JW Marriott and Ritz Carlton hotels on July 17, another luxury hotel Four Seasons Hotel in Jakarta and the Best Western Asean Hotel in Medan also received bomb threats respectively, the Jakarta Post reported on July 19.

The Four Seasons Hotel, which also locates in South Jakarta, received a bomb threat from an unidentified male caller on Sunday. Police immediately sent an anti-bomb squad to the location, but they found nothing.



Indonesian National Police spokesman Insp. Gen. Nanan Sukarna said he had yet to receive a report from his officers. "If there is a bomb threat, it is usually a hoax," he said.

The Best Western Asean Hotel in Medan got the threat from an unknown male caller on July 19. "The caller said he will detonate the bomb in 30 minutes," S. Siregar, a security officer at the hotel said.

An anti-bomb squad from the local police was immediately dispatched to the hotel but they did not find any bomb after 30 minutes of searching.

Two explosions occurred at the Ritz Carlton and Marriott hotels respectively in Jakarta on July 17 morning, killing 8 people and wounding more than 50 others.
