Explosion in Jakarta

A vehicle packed with explosives has blown up near a building housing US embassy officials in Jakarta.

Jakarta police Chief Anton Bachrul Alam said one suspect was shot dead at the scene by police after the explosion.

He says another suspect was detained and two others managed to escape.

US embassy closed

Mr Alam says it is too early to know whether the explosion was linked to recent truck bomb threats against the US embassy in the Indonesian capital.

The U.S. embassy closed amid unspecified security concerns during the anniversary of September 11 attacks on New York and Washington.
