Man United cancel Jakarta game after bombings

KUALA LUMPUR: Manchester United have canceled the Jakarta leg of their Asia tour after the hotel where they were due to stay in the Indonesian capital was bombed on Friday.

The English champions were scheduled to play against an Indonesia 'All Star' team on Monday on the second leg of their preseason tour, which also included stops in Malaysia, South Korea and China.

The team canceled the Indonesia leg, however, after bomb blasts ripped through the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels in Jakarta's business district, killing nine people and wounding dozens.
