Indonesian police find explosives after restaurant attack

Police found two bombs, explosive powder, cables and shrapnel in the house of a man suspected in a blast at an American fast food restaurant in the Indonesian capital Jakarta, investigators said today, suggesting more attacks were planned.

Officers declined to speculate on a motive for Saturday's attack, but said the bomber was "unprofessional," indicating he was not linked to the al-Qaida-linked group Jemaah Islamiyah, blamed for a string of well-organised and deadly strikes on Western targets in Indonesia since 2002.
