2 militants, a vendor killed in central Indonesia

JakartaForum, Indonesia — Indonesia's anti-terror forces say they have killed two suspected terrorists in a predawn raid in Central Java.

National police spokesman Col. Boy Rafli Amar says the suspects and anti-terror forces exchanged fire during the raid early Saturday in Sukoharjo district, during which a nearby rice vendor was also fatally shot.

Amar says the two suspects are among fugitives wanted for a church attack in Central Java last year. He says they are also believed to have links to a terrorist network in the West Java district of Cirebon.

A number of terrorist suspects have been arrested following a suicide bombing last month at a mosque in Cirebon that injured 30 people, mostly policemen.
