| Date: 10 March 2010 - Author: The Jakarta Post | | The result of a DNA test has confirmed that Dulmatin, one of Southeast Asia's most wanted terrorists, was killed Tuesday in a raid in Pamulang, Tangerang, Vice President Boediono has announced. | “One of the three bodies [of the terror suspect killed in the raid] has been identified by the National Police and it has been confirmed by a DNA test [that it was] Dulmatin,” Boediono said after a meeting with National Police chief Gen. Bambang Hendarso Danuri at the Vice Presidential Palace in Jakarta.
“I express my appreciation to the National Police and all supporting institutions, including the people for the success of the operation,” he added.
Bambang, who were also present, declined to answer questions from journalists, saying he would hold a separate press conference at the National Police Headquarters later in the day.
Tuesday's raids were part of a police crackdown on a suspected Jemaah Islamiyah cell that recently established a paramilitary training camp in Aceh.
Dulmatin, a 39-year-old Indonesian trained by al-Qaida in Afghanistan, was wanted for the suicide bombings that tore through two Bali nightclubs popular with Westerners in 2002, killing 202 people.
He was one of Southeast Asia's most wanted fugitives and was thought to have fled to the Philippines. |
