During raids in the Indonesian capital Jakarta on Monday, police killed three suspected Islamist terrorists. One of them is thought to be Dulmatin. He is said to have played a role in the 2002 Bali nightclub bombings that killed over 200 people, many of them foreign nationals.

Dulmatin is a member of the Islamist terrorist organisation Jemaah Islamyah, as well as an al-Qaeda trained bomb-maker. The United States has offered a 10-million-dollar bounty for him. A DNA investigation must now be carried out on the body to determine its identity.

One of the raids took place in an internet café. The second took place in the streets, where two men were shot dead on a motorbike. The operation comes less than two weeks before a visit to Indonesia by the United States President Barack Obama.
