Noordin M Top not dead after a Densus 88 raid in Temanggung, in another raid in Bekasi a car bomb is found.
Temanggung
On the morning of August 8th in Beji, Kedu, Temanggung, Central Java anti-terror police Densus 88 raided a house where Malaysian terrorist Noordin M Top was thought to be hiding. Police said that Noordin was likely killed during the raid, however upon DNA tests of the body it was found that it was Noordin M Top at all.
Police had had the house, owned by one Muhjuhri, surrounded in a tense standoff since around 4pm the previous day, while explosions and gunfire were heard at the time of the raid.
Reports in recent days had suggested that Noordin M. Top was most likely hiding somewhere in Central Java, moving from house to house every six hours even.
Bekasi
Meanwhile in Bekasi, West Java, near East Jakarta, the home of one Ahmad Fery located at Puri Nusapala, Blok D, RT 4 RW 12 in Jati Makmur, Jatiasih was also raided by Detasemen Khusus (Densus) 88 at 1am Saturday morning, after two men arrived at the house in a van.
The two men, believed to be named Air Setiawan/Setyawan and Eko Joko Sarjono, attempted to throw pipe bombs at police, it is said, and were shot dead.
Weapons, bomb making materials, and a Mitsubishi pickup truck that had been prepared as a car bomb were seized.
Jatiasih, Bekasi
Police general Wahyono said the house had been watched by police for the last ten days.
A few days ago another senior policeman in Bekasi, Herri Wibowo, had said there were six areas in the regency which were known to be home to adherents of hardline Muslim groups and therefore the police were focusing on them in the search for likely terrorist hideouts in the wake of the Jakarta suicide bombings.
He would not name the six areas but said they included a few ordinary kampung areas, and other areas where were located certain Islamic schools, and lots of short term housing. antara
You beauty!!! I’l be drinking long and hard into the night. Good work Indo police.
Thank christ/allah/buddha and all the deities. The world is well rid of an evil cowardly man. He didn’t have the balls to make the attacks himself.
Abu bakar bashir and ji’s silence is deafening!
If it is accurate, one more MALAYSIAN terrorist is dead. But we need to hear the fatwa of the grand pig Abubakar Baasyir. Did I hear Mossad, Jews, CIA, the enemy of Islam and micro nuclear? Again? Why is it that Islam got so many enemies, while others Hidu, Buddha, Christian, Animism, Tao, Shinto and many other beliefs do not?
Diego whilst Top was a malay, remember that the poor/stupid/misguided/ fanatical bastards that carried the bombs were indonesians.
Blaming malaysia is a cop out.
Malaysian terrorist, truly…
Good bloody riddance. Unfortunately, the extremist pigs, the sheep who follow them, and the weasels who publicly defend them will likely continue to blame anyone and everyone else for the bombings. Any rational person, though, has to conclude that this has been a problem within Indonesian Islam, and had to be dealt with in large part by Indonesian Muslims. This is exactly what happened. Not to denigrate or marginalize the role of non-Muslims Indonesians, or the assistance of foreign governments in aiding Indonesia with intelligence and funding for Densus 88, but the government’s ability to politically go out and take these mutherf***kers out has more to do with the general sense of revulsion against the bombings and the perversion of Islam that they represent. This was not really present in the earlier bombings to the degree that it has been since July.
But Mbak Parvita,
Everyone knows the CIA killed Michael Jackson because he is convert to Islams.
Amrozi, mukhlas and samudra…….malays? No, indonesians
Ya, there is new news that there is a real question of whether or not Mr. Top is actually dead. Some say he died “in the toilet” or more politely “in the bathroom”.
All in all it is quite the spectacle. That is for sure.
I’ve been rereading the posts. I feel a little ashamed that I furthered discussion on the ethnic/religious background of top and others.
They are/were not representative of their culture or country. they were evil men who cowardly attempted to justify their actions thru their perverted interpretation of religion.
All cultures and countries have such idiots.
There’s a logical falacy………….if you want people to espouse your cause, then you court them, not piss them off.
Shorty, just ignore Diego. His mindset is no different than the terrorist we are talking about. He has to find others to blame and hate. He is like a hamster in a cage, going round and round and round and…..

I read your post re sarinah. the nasties will do their thing irrespective of real or perceived security.
Always remember governments are expected to be perceived as doing something, rather than doing something.
Think about the latest jakarta bombings…..high security, bules on tap….boom!!
It achieved nothing.
Why are you afraid? check the relevant statistics for sydney, and you’re much safer in jakarta.
A strange? concept….you are responsible (no-one else) for your own security.
Ross we reach the conundrum of what is acceptable security intervention vs reasonable public access.
Unfortunately increased overt intervention also increases public insecurity and unease.
Recent events have shown that existing security measures are redundant or useless. Arseholes will always find a way to fart.
Maybe what we need is a shift in attitude….not the government/centre management/hotel security etc screening for nasties, but everyday people like you and I sending the message that we want free and unfettered daily movement.

For one Noordin that died, there are hundreds of Noordin born. Noordin have spread his teachings.
Not really convinced this is true. Sheep need to be led, after all. The militant cell of JI is not some hydra; by all accounts it had dwindled to Noordin and sheep. Without the shepherd, imagine the flock will grow listless and probably join some still detestable yet not quite as destructive other group.
Shame on Densus 88 and the police. Was it so difficult to catch him alive? What the need to send xxx heavily armed troops to get one single man? Noordin, if it’s him, would have been much more useful alive than dead. And why bombing the house? Cowardise at its best. Why not panzers next time? You guys need more training with SWAT or GIGN.
Bas, You didn’t really think he would ever be taken alive do you… way way to much to tell.
He had served the purpose of those in the shadows
