By DPA,
Jakarta : One of Asia’s most wanted men, Islamic militant Noordin Mohammed Top, was killed in a shoot-out with Indonesian anti-terrorism police in Central Java Saturday, TV One channel reported.
Police believe Noordin was the mastermind behind bomb attacks on two Jakarta luxury hotels last month, which killed nine people including two suicide bombers.
A TV One reporter said, citing police sources at the scene, Noordin was confirmed to be among those killed in a raid on a house in a remote village in Temanggung district.
Police and up to four militants had been engaged in an armed stand-off since Friday evening.
A police spokesman could not be reached immediately for confirmation.
