**Indonesian security forces say they have killed a suspected militant during a shoot-out on the outskirts of the capital Jakarta.**The raid was thought to be linked to an ongoing operation against militants in Aceh province that has brought a number of arrests.
Unconfirmed reports say the man killed may have been Dulmatin, a senior member of the Jemaah Islamiah (JI) group.
He is wanted over the Bali bomb attacks in 2002 that killed 202 people.
‘Big name’
The shoot-out took place at a two-storey building in Pamulang city west of the capital, local media reported.
They said two people had been arrested in the raid.
Anti-terror police chief Tito Karnavian told media the dead man was a “big name”. Police are due to hold a news conference later on Tuesday.
Dulmatin has been one of the most-wanted Indonesian militant figures. The US has offered a $10m reward for information leading to his death or arrest.
He is believed to have set off one of the two bombs in Bali on 12 October 2002. A total of 202 people died in the attacks, many of them foreign tourists.
Dulmatin had been thought to be hiding in the Philippines.
However, there is no official confirmation he was the man killed.
DNA tests were needed to prove beyond doubt that Indonesia’s then-most-wanted Islamist militant, Noordin Mohamed Top, had been killed in September 2009.
Police thought they had killed him in a previous raid only for forensic tests to prove them wrong.
Indonesian police have been engaged in an operation recently targeting Aceh militants.
A total of 14 people have been charged with plotting to launch terrorist attacks.
Those charged are believed by officials to be members of a previously unknown terror group.
But seizures in raids included DVDs on the Bali bombings.
Police have been investigating possible links between the militants and Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), which was blamed by the authorities for the Bali attacks.
