AN ELITE Indonesian police squad has killed a man believed to be the most wanted Islamic militant in southeast Asia, Noordin Mohammad Top, who was linked to bombings in Jakarta and on the island of Bali.
Officers of Detachment 88 stormed a house amid green rice paddies in central Java yesterday morning, using robot cameras to find their target as they blasted from room to room with grenades.
The man made a last stand inside the bathroom as walls shattered around him, screaming out the name, “Noordin Top”, before black-clad marksmen fired volleys of shots into the room, witnesses said.
It was the climax to a 17-hour siege that followed a swoop on militants in the town of Temanggung, 250 miles southeast of Jakarta.

Does that mean you will wake up screaming, every two hours, with a load in your underpants? Sorry, had to ask.

LOL. Well, that’s the last time I use the ‘sleep like a baby’ metaphor.
You ruined it forever for me. :-)

What happened to bounty-hunting in America? They are more commonly referred to as “Skip Tracers” today.
