POLICE were yesterday trying to identify the body of a suspected terrorist killed in a farmhouse gun battle after discovering a plot to kill Indonesia’s president in a suicide car bombing.

A leading south-east Asian terrorist suspect reportedly killed in a gun battle with police at a village hideout was planning a suicide car bomb attack on Indonesia’s president, the national police chief said.

South East Asia’s most wanted terrorist was reportedly shot and killed by police officers who stormed a suspected militant hide-out in Indonesia today to end a 16-hour siege.

SUICIDE bombers posing as guests attacked American luxury hotels in Indonesia’s capital and set off a pair of bombs yesterday that killed at least nine people and wounded more than 50, authorities said.
