Noordin's body was among four recovered after the early morning raid on a village house in Central Java, national police chief Bambang Hendarso Danuri told reporters, bringing to an end an exhaustive six-year manhunt. "From national police doctors' examinations... and finger prints sent by Malaysian police, thank God on this holy month of Ramadan -- it's Noordin M Top," Danuri said to applause. Loud explosions and gunfire were heard as police raided the rented house at around sunrise after a nine-hour siege on the outskirts of Solo city, a stronghold of the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) radical network. The raid left the simple house in the lush, densely populated region a burnt-out shell. Danuri said police from Special Detachment 88 launched the raid after interrogating two Noordin acolytes arrested nearby on Wednesday afternoon. "Despite repeated warnings to surrender there was a firefight. A motorcycle was hit, caught fire and they took refuge by huddling in the bathroom," Danuri said. "But our men breached the wall as morning prayers came, at around 5:00 or 6:00 am we carried out a quick operation in three hours and we managed to disable them." Danuri said those killed along with Noordin were "expert bomb-maker" Bagus Budi Pranoto, alias Urwah, close Noordin associate Ario Sudarso, alias Aji, and the renter of the house, Susilo. He said two men were also arrested and Susilo's wife, who was wounded in the raid, was also in custody. Police spokesman Nanan Soekarna said: "(At the house) we found weapons, grenades and eight sacks of explosive material." Lawmaker Sidarto, a member of the national parliament's security committee, said he and other lawmakers had been allowed to see the bodies of the four slain militants. "Today, God willing, the radical movement has been disabled. One of the biggest terrorist masterminds, Noordin M Top has been shot," Sidarto said. "There were signs that pointed to it being Noordin M Top, such as a big mole on the left side of his nose," he said. Noordin, a 41-year-old Malaysian who is Southeast Asia's most-wanted man, led a radical splinter faction of the Jemaah Islamiyah terror network blamed for a string of deadly attacks. The offshoot, labelled Al-Qaeda in the Malay Archipelago, is suspected of being behind the July 17 suicide attacks on Jakarta's JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels. The bombings, which killed seven people including six foreigners, were the first major attacks in Indonesia in nearly four years. Police believe they narrowly missed Noordin in a dramatic televised raid in August on a safe house in Temanggung, also Central Java. Noordin was initially reported dead at the end of the 17-hour siege but the body later turned out to be that of a florist working in the Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotel complex who helped plot the attacks from the inside. Noordin allegedly also masterminded a 2003 attack on the Marriott that killed 12 people, as well as the Australian embassy bombing and 2005 attacks on tourist restaurants on the holiday island of Bali. Jemaah Islamiyah's ultimate goal is to unite Indonesia, Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore and the southern Philippines into a fundamentalist Islamic state. Noordin's faction is estranged from JI's mainstream, which has rejected spectacular attacks. But analysts say he was able to fall back on a network of sympathetic schools and families while continuing to recruit.
