A bomb exploded at Indonesia's Parliament building on Monday, smashing windows and damaging a wall but causing no casualties, police and witness said.

No one immediately claimed responsibility for the blast, the latest in a series of small bombings in Indonesia.

The early morning blast caused minor damage to the wall of a building at the complex in central Jakarta. It also smashed several windows, witnesses said.

A senior official who declined to be named said it was a bomb that caused the explosion.

Last week, police confiscated a huge haul of explosives and detonators and arrested nine Islamic militants they said were planning terror attacks across the nation.

Since the Bali blasts in October last year, there have been several small blasts in Jakarta and other cities. Police have said most were the work of separatists from the country's westernmost Aceh province.
