Analyst explains reasons to doubt Noordin's death claim

An intelligent observer Dinno Cressbon said Sunday most wanted terror suspect Noordin M. Top would have been unlikely to choose Beji hamlet, Temanggung, Central Java as a hideout.






"Beji is different. It is surrounded by hills where he could not escape, while his previous nine hideouts usually got an easy access to the road and the sea.

"That's why I doubt the dead terror suspect is Noordin M. Top."

Police believed they had killed Noordin in a raid in Temanggung from Friday to Saturday.
