Indonesian police released digital images today of the reconstructed faces of two suspected suicide bombers who attacked luxury hotels in Jakarta last week, killing seven people.
The images are being shown to witnesses as part of the investigation into Friday's attacks on the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels in central Jakarta, the first major terror attack in Indonesia since 2005, police said.
The images were based on two severed heads found at the bomb sites which are believed to have belonged to the bombers, suspected members of the Jemaah Islamiyah regional extremist network or one of its offshoots.
Top's wife detained: report
