SOLO, Indonesia — Police hunting for suspects in Jakarta hotel bombings raided a hide-out in central Indonesia, sparking gunfire and an explosion Thursday that left four suspected militants dead, officials said. Three alleged terrorists also were captured.
A counterterrorism official said the dead included alleged bomb-maker Bagus Budi Pranato. The captured militants included a pregnant woman who was being treated at a hospital, national police spokesman Nanan Sukarna said.
Police tracked the seven suspects to the town of Solo in Central Java and besieged a village house on the outskirts overnight. The raid ended near daybreak when an explosion was detonated inside the home, the spokesman said.
The operation left behind a charred house with no roof and blown-out walls. The bodies were flown to Jakarta for autopsies.
Broadcaster TVOne speculated that an unidentified body was that of Noordin Muhammad Top, the region's most wanted militant, but there was no confirmation and his death has erroneously been reported before.
Large quantities of explosives, weapons, grenades and bombs were recovered from the scene as ambulances shuttled away the dead and injured.

Has it been confirmed that they have Noordin? He’s been reported dead at least once before, maybe twice, but in the end he had eluded capture.
We’ll wait for further confirmation. Maybe NMT has met Hades for the first time.
I pray that it would be so. But, it would be the second time, actually. I am attributing his origin to the nether regions as well.
Bali Bomber Noordin Muhammed Top is confirmed dead. Identification was made by the fingerprints.
"We warned them to surrender but they didn't obey," said Bambang. "Since we knew there were dangerous people inside, we had to take strong action."
The police bombed the place to rubble. Hehehehe. They do not bother with Miranda over here.
