Airport bomb blast may be linked to militants’ trials

A BOMB exploded near a fast-food restaurant at Jakarta’s main airport yesterday, wounding at least seven.

Indonesia’s security chief said the attack could be linked to trials of militant suspects. The blast at Soekarno-Hatta airport occurred near an outlet of the US-based KFC chain, at a terminal used mostly for international departures.

A television report put the number of wounded at 11 while a health official at the airport and police said at least seven were hurt, one seriously.
