JAKARTA - Embassies in the posh Mega Kuningan area in South Jakarta where two deadly blasts occurred simultaneously Friday morning have mostly been closed to the public and will likely resume office on Tuesday, as Monday is a national holiday.

About a dozen people gathered at the gate of China's embassy looked disappointed when an embassy official told them to return home because the embassy does not provide services other than visa collection. The official declined to be interviewed.

"The employees (at the embassy) had been told to go home," a security guard said.

China's embassy, which was recently stormed by local Muslims protesting Beijing over riots in Xinjiang, is within walking distance of the JW Marriott and Ritz Carlton hotels, where the bombs exploded, killing at least nine people and wounding dozens.

The Menara Rajawali building, which stands next to the Marriott and hosts six embassy offices -- Danish, Swedish, Norway, Peruvian, Finland and Uzbek -- has shut power down, forcing offices to stop all activities.

"We are depending on the building's management," Anders Backman, an official at the Swedish embassy, said. Another official, who declined to be named because he is not authorized to talk to the press, said activities at the embassy will likely return to normal on Tuesday.
