Jakarta bombs hidden by florist

Explosives used in last month's terrorist attacks on two Jakarta hotels were smuggled inside by a hotel florist who disguised the weapons as flowers.

Indonesian police confirmed the 37-year-old florist named Ibrohim, alias Boim, was the man killed in a raid on a farmhouse in Central Java at the weekend - not mastermind Noordin Mohammed Top.

DNA tests revealed the dead man was actually the "inside man" who helped plan and stage the brazen attacks at the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels that killed seven bystanders, including New Zealander Timothy Mackay, on July 17.
