"We believe the rest of the Bali and Mariott bomb suspects are related with what has happened right now (the bombing at the Australian Embassy). We heard that from some people. They have recruited a new person and carried out an attack."

17. SOUNDBITE: (Indonesian) Hassan Wirajuda, Indonesian Foreign Minister:
"About the offer (of help) from Australia. It is part of our cooperation with Australia. It is not something new. And for the further police investigations, they (Australia) will also send their experts which of course will be helpful to us."

"We will, with our federal police, provide every support to the Indonesian government and Indonesian officials to help track down those people who were responsible for this act of murder and this attack on the Australian embassy."

23. SOUNDBITE: (English) Alexander Downer, Australian Foreign Minister:
"The protection that we put in place for the embassy has held out surprisingly well really. The wall round the embassy has been substantially reinforced over the last few years and that has been critical in defending the people who were in the embassy. The other thing is that the windows had bomb-proof coating on them and so as a result when the windows broke, as a consequence of the explosion, the glass didn't damage people in ways that windows might otherwise do."

STORYLINE:
Suspected al-Qaida-linked militants detonated a car bomb outside the Australian Embassy in Jakarta on Thursday, killing nine people and wounding 173 in a devastating strike on a key US ally in the war in Iraq.
The bombing - the first attack linked to regional terror group Jemaah Islamiyah in more than a year - could affect forthcoming Australian elections,
in which Prime Minister John Howard is running on a pro-American, anti-terror platform in a tight race.
Indonesian authorities began the clear-up of the area near the Australian embassy in Jakarta as darkness fell on Thursday.
The blast, which left body parts and bloody corpses strewn across the busy thoroughfare, was also a reminder of the continuing threat of terrorism in the world's most populous Muslim nation, despite a slew of arrests and convictions.
It came less than a week after Washington and Canberra upgraded long-standing travel warnings to their citizens in Indonesia, citing an increased risk of terror attacks by militants on Western targets.
No one inside the heavily fortified building was killed, although several Australian, Greek and Chinese citizens were wounded in the attack that
election pledge to withdraw all Spanish troops from Iraq.
