Indonesian police have killed 2 terrorists, in a raid on a house in Central Java. Most of the religious trouble in Indonesia starts in Central Java, with troublemakers exporting their ideas and bombs, to places like Bali, Ambon, Central Sulawesi.

Today at 5.30 am police raided a house, they were watching for a while. It had been rented by 5 men, for a period of 3 months. One the senior operatives of JI (Jemaaah Islamiyah), Noordin Top, was thought to be there, but escaped. The safe-house was in Binangun village of Kertek district in Wonosobo regency, Central Java

Indonesian police said that Abdul Hadi or Bambang and Gabir were dead, while the third one Solahuddin, was arrested. Its great that the authorities have these guys on the run. Sooner of later they will corner Noordin Top, and he’ll go the same way as Azahari (former senior bomb maker for JI).
