JAKARTA - A DNA test performed on the body of the terrorist of which the finger prints matched those of wanted Islamist militant Noordin M. Top have confirmed that he was indeed killed in a police raid. Earlier this week, anti-terrorist police raided a house in a village near Solo in Central Java, killing four and arresting three others.
Finger prints of one of the killed terrorists matched those known to be Noordin M. Top. An announcement was made later that day that it was indeed Noordin that was also killed in the police siege, with DNA testing now confirming these words. "There is no doubt that he's Noordin M. Top," said Nanan Soekarna, spokesman for the national police.
It is not the first time Indonesian officials have claimed Noordin is dead. Earlier in August, police also raided a house in Central Java. After the shootout, one body was recovered from the scene that was suspected to be that of Noordin, but the police soon found out that finger prints and DNA did not match that of Noordin.
