JAKARTA, Indonesia — Five suspects have been arrested in connection with the bombing of the 8th-Century Buddhist temple of Borobudur, officials said Thursday. Two of the suspects were reported to be directly involved in planting 11 bombs that damaged a section of the temple Monday.

The explosion destroyed nine of the temple's 72 bell-shaped stupas or pagodas--tower-like structures containing relics of the historic Buddha.
