Indonesia's most wanted man and the terrorist blamed for a string of attacks including the Bali bombings has reportedly blown himself up after police raided his East Java hideout this afternoon.

Malaysian bomb mastermind Dr Azahari Husin apparently triggered a bomb killing himself and two accomplices after police surrounded a villa in the hill resort town of Batu, near Malang, local television news stations reported.

Witnesses told of gunshots and at least two explosions after crack anti-terror police raided the house around 3.30pm this afternoon.

The area was this evening cordoned off and electricity had been shut down.

A Detachment 88 source told AAP on condition of anonymity that the raid was linked to the October 1 triple suicide bombing on three cafes in Kuta and Jimbaran, which killed 20 innocent people, among them four Australians.

``It has a link,'' he said.

The ANTV television station, citing police sources, said Husin had been hiding out in the house and blew himself up rather than be captured.

Husin is said to be the brains behind a string of terror bombings, including the recent Bali bombings, last year's Australian Embassy attack and the 2003 suicide car bombing of the JW Marriott Hotel in Jakarta.

Along with suicide bomb recruiter and fellow Malaysian Noordin Top, he is Indonesia's most wanted man.

Local residents described the situation as ``tense'' as police surrounded the housing complex.

Azahari Husin, a trained engineer

I never did trust those sumb!tches in their striped puffy hats, and always blowing that horn at all hours of the day and night. And the trained conductors are no better.

"... and then I set the time delay to 5, and press this switch like so, and we slip out the secret tunnel."
"Ummm,,, is that timer in minutes or seconds?"

[Mr. Lucky]

...behind lots of things. (In front of, beneath and on top of lots of things as well).

[JillValentine]

Much better that they blow themselves up than get sentenced to 4 years in prison with sentence reductions every Ramadan.

[press conference afterward]

Police spokeman: He blew himself up.

Reporter: Where was his hideout?

PS: He was found hiding in a disco.

Reporter: Disco?

PS: Yeah, disco here, disco there...

[old joke alert, but it came too late]

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Too bad. It would have been good if they'd captured him.

You see, they probably would have truly tortured him and gotten information that would save innocent lives...as opposed to the mere accusations of torture from the Dims in the US regarding the WH.

To paraphrase that famous philosopher, Tweety:


AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, the poor tewwowist, he blew up, go BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

Bloody serves the murdering heathen carpetbagger right, too!

[dervish]

Thanks for the good-news-terrorist-goes-boom ping.

[SunkenCiv]

Very nice that the newspaper story referred to the mass-murdering pile of subhuman sewage as "Doctor". Don't wanna leave out that detail. I mean, who wouldn't feel more at home with a well-educated gentleman than with a bunch of BBQed steer eatin' hooligans with rifle racks in their pickups, out in those flyover states?

[reagan_fanatic]

And now he's saying.... wait.... I thought there were virgins here? Wait... Wait...

There must be virgins here around here somewhere in this hellhole...hey, stop jabbing me with that pitchfork!!

[Ashamed Canadian]

LOL, that's brilliant!!

[Purrcival]

Bye-bye, scumbag. Good riddance!

Azahari: "B-b-but...where are my 72 virgins? What are these flames? You want me to do WHAT????"

[BJClinton]

Yeah, one of ym favorite. Not mine though, I swiped it off another thread.
