Blast at Indonesian embassy in Paris

Nine of the injured -- who included four embassy staff members -- were treated for cuts in local hospitals and the tenth was tended at the scene in the exclusive 16th district in the west of the capital.

The explosive device was left on the pavement beneath the Indonesian flag flying from the embassy building on a narrow street corner and went off shortly after 5:00 am (0300 GMT).

It left a small crater some 50 centimetres (20 inches) wide by 20 centimetres deep, which anti-terrorist experts were examining three hours later amid the morning rush hour. Streets around the embassy were sealed off as workmen cleared up the debris of broken glass.
