A planned suicide bombing attack on the Presidential Palace was foiled when the police found and safely detonated a bomb in Bekasi. Apparently they arrested a woman who was planning on blowing herself up with it.

More info in this NY Times article.
 
30 kg, that certainly would make an impression
 
The bombs in Boston were pressure cooker types too, so they were reading the same bomb manual...
 
It was an the write up on the news this morning, I must say I though 30 kg, was rather over the top, but then who knows, I was thinking more of a car bomb
 
In 24 hours 4 bombs blast, Cairo, Istanbul, Mogadishu, Aden and jakarta almost the fifth.

During the maoist rebellion of Nepal all pressure cookers were banned from sale throughout the country such was their effectiveness. At one time I lived in the mountains of Northern India and had the experience of finding my kitchen destroyed by a pressure cooker that had exploded while I was away for an hour.
