TWO victims of the Jakarta blasts arrived at the National University Hospital (NUH) last night, and up to six more might be flown here for medical attention, said a spokesman for health-care company International SOS.

The injured men are said to have suffered burns and broken limbs.

Mr Machribie is the commissioner of Freeport Indonesia, the country's largest copper and gold mining company.

Mr Potter is the executive vice-president for exploration at the same company and has lived in Indonesia for the past 20 years.
