Two men approached the embassy at approximately 9:30 am[9] and killed its security detail with their guns and grenades. A vehicle described alternately as either a pick-up truck or a small car resembling a taxi loaded with a 250-pound bomb then rushed into the compound. The driver set off the bomb, blowing apart the gates.[2] Three minutes later, a Jeep carrying a second, larger bomb also detonated and the side of the building crumbled.[9][10] The Japanese and Indonesian embassies were also damaged, as was a nearby bank.[11][12]
