An unexploded bomb was found and defused in a room of the JW Marriott hotel in downtown Jakarta on Friday, after a bombing there and the nearby Ritz-Carlton hotel killed at least nine people, a senior official said.
Presidential advisor Djali Yusuf told AFP police found the device in what they believed was the "control center" for the attacks.
"The control-centre was a room at the JW Marriott, room number 1808, where anti-terror police found explosive materials and an unexploded bomb," he said.
Authorities on loudspeakers ordered a general evacuation of the building after the bomb was found.
Two explosions, at the Marriott and the Ritz-Carlton in Kuningan, Jakarta, killed 9 people and injured 42 earlier on Friday morning.
