A number of inter-faith clerics led a mass prayer service here Monday in connection with Friday`s bombings at the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels in the Mega-Kunngan area.
On the occasion they called on the people not to panic but remain alert in dealing with the tragedy.
"Although the situation is overwhelming, people must remain alert but not panic," Rev. Dr. Petrus from the Indonesian Communion of Churches (PGI) said.
He said all people were shocked by the incidents that left some dead and scores of others wounded.
He hoped the government through its security agencies could create a sense of security among the people by boosting security monitoring of conditions in the country.
"The government must increase security considering that the incident was not the first to happen in Indonesia," he said.
Other religious leaders such as Hasyim Muzadi, chairman of the Islamic Nahdlatul Ulama organization, and Anak Agung Ngurah Ugrasena representing Hindus and Maha Biksu Dutavira representing Buddhists voiced similar views.
They all urged the police to unveil the perpetrators of the bombings.
The religious leaders on the occasion prayed for the dead victims and speedy recovery of the wounded.
Indonesian Anti-Violence Community figures such as lawyer Todung Mulya Lubis, Yenni Wahid, Wimar Witoelar and Ayu Utami earlier came to the site of the bombings to pray for the victims.
Until now forensic doctors at the police hospital in Kramatjati have been able to identify five of the nine dead victims in the bombings.
They are Evert Mokodompis (Indonesian), Timothy D Mackay (New Zealander), Senger Craig Andrew (Australian), Mc Evoy Garth Rupert John (Australian) and Verity Nathan John (Australian).
Thirteen people meanwhile are now still being treated in several hospitals in the city. (ant)
