STORYLINE:
Hours after Indonesia announced it had foiled an alleged plot to bomb the Myanmar Embassy in Jakarta, hundreds of hard-liner protesters gathered outside the mission on Friday to demonstrate against persecution of Muslims in Myanmar.
Two suspected militants have been arrested for alleged involvement in the plot, and five homemade bombs were reportedly seized from a backpack they were carrying after authorities were tipped off as to their whereabouts, according to a police spokesman.
Police said the two men were part of a cell allegedly involved in recent attacks against Indonesian police. They refused to say when the embassy attack was to have taken place.
The police spokesman said the suspects told authorities they wanted to retaliate against Myanmar for recent attacks on Rohingya Muslims there.
Up to 2-thousand police were deployed on Friday to secure the Myanmar Embassy and the ambassador's house for a demonstration by the Islamic Defenders Front.
Vehicles laden with water cannon and riot police with riot shields blocked the street in front of the embassy.
Several hundred protesters showed up, with some holding banners reading "Save Muslim Rohingya", "We want jihad" and "Stop genocide in Myanmar".
They gathered in the street in front of rows of police, peacefully waving flags and shouting: "Muslims unite! Will not be defeated!"
Habib Rizieq Shihab, chairman of Islamic Defenders Front, called on Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to cut diplomatic ties with Myanmar.
Similar protests with hundreds of participants were also held in the central Java town of Solo and at a Buddhist temple in Medan, the provincial capital of North Sumatra.
Sectarian violence in Buddhist-majority Myanmar has killed scores, and thousands of Muslims have been driven from their homes.
Earlier this week, one person was killed and 160 mosques, homes and shops were destroyed in an area not far from Yangon, Myanmar's biggest city.
