LIPPO CIKARANG - The special anti-terrorist unit Densus 88 has shot and killed three suspected terrorists in a village near the city of Solo in Central Java. The bodies have been taken to the airport of Adi Soemarmo, where they will be flown to Jakarta for further examination. The three dead terrorists were the result of a night long siege on a house in the village in which Densus 88 was in a gunfight with the suspected terrorists.
The siege started around ten in the evening last night and lasted until in the morning. Regional police did not release an official statement yet on what was happening in the village or who they were looking for in the house. At the end of the siege by Densus 88, early this morning, there were two loud explosions to be heard. It is not known if these explosions were caused by the anti-terrorist unit or not. The explosions however were soon followed by gunfire once again.
Earlier this morning, the gunfire stopped and eventually Densus 88 pulled three bodies from the house. This number of casualties however is not confirmed by police yet. Spectators are kept at a few hundred meters distance from the house, in contrary to the raid on a house in Temanggung some time back. Residents could easily peek inside the house within half an hour of the end of the siege. It is suspected that the police was looking for suspects of the July 17 hotel bombings in Jakarta.
