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.

Noordin Mohammed Top was killed in a shootout with Indonesian counterterrorist police in this house.
Noordin Mohammed Top.
It’s sad that he is facing a second death sentence but he made his choice and is now unable to rectify that condemnation.
See , the US would have caught him , read him his rights , gotten some NYU punk lawyer to defend him in a trial . Then he’d get off on a technicality , Oprah would have him on shilling for his new book on how America framed him and then Obama would give him a job at the White House.
At least some countries are still civilized , they blow holes in little Muslim scumbags.
Some marksmen, firing volleys of shots. I prefer the sniper approach - the single aimed round... By the time the witnesses hear the report, your spotter has already called the shot and you're back down in cover. :-) The perfect mission is one where there are no witnesses - no-one sees the shooter.
This has in it ... an idea.
Some long-term “wanted” criminals should be tried in absentia and, if convicted, be designated as “Kill on Sight” candidates.
In revenge for the Bali bombings.
Awesome! I’m shocked some Indo Muzzie cops actually shot one of their own.
I visited Bali a year ago and the best part about it is the people, who are 90% Hindu. My girlfriend (at the time) and I took a tour around the island with a random taxi driver and he couldn’t keep emphasizing how much Bali loves the west because of the prosperity it has brought to the island and how they respect Hinduism although it is unknown to most of them.
Apt justice for a terrorist thug.
I like the way you think. Perhaps with appropriate reward given to any citizen on earth accomplishing that task.
Terrorize the terrorists BUMP!
I see no problem with this policy.
Come to think of it ... What happened to bounty-hunting in America?
It seems that the Indonesians have the proper mind-set when it comes to these matters.
I could only hope that one day we would do the same.
Hasn’t it been a good week!
Freepers are rejoicing over the deaths of four top terrorists in three different locations.
Keep it up, we have a long way to go.
BUMP! BUMP!
Good deal. I think Indonesia is tired of being bombed by these nutjobs. They have no problem executing terrorists.
I wish it was the case in the United States, but that would not happen under Zerobamanation.
