Anti-terror police forces surrounded a house in Temanggung, Central Java, believed to be the hideout of fugitive terror suspect Noordin M. Top, Saturday early morning.

The police forces initially fired gunshots at the house at Beji village, Kedu sub-district, but no response from inside, and then, they threw rocks at the house from all corners, causing the house’s roof falling.

But still, no one came out from the house.

The police believed Noordin, with one or two of his men were inside the house, which belongs to Muzaeri.






Hundreds of locals flocked to the area and witnessed the police's operation from a distance, from a tobacco plantation nearby.

Police sources said that the police came to the house based on information collected from a number of people they arrested earlier on Friday.

The police arrested Wawan Setiawan at Tanjungsari village, Tlogomulya subdistrict, in Temanggung. Wawan, arrested at about 11 a.m. Friday, is a resident of Pandeglang, Banten.

Later in the day, the police arrested Aris Ma'ruf and Fendi in Kedu subdistrict, also in Temanggung.

Based on the information from those arrested suspects, the police surrounded Muzaeri's house.

Army: Gunmen kill Indonesia soldier in Papua

 Associated Press, Jayapura | Thu, 07/21/2011 6:47 PM An army officer says unidentified gunmen have ambushed Indonesia soldiers and killed one of them in the easternmost province of Papua. The chief army officer in Papua says soldiers are still searching for the gunmen. Maj. Gen. Erfi Triassunu said the ambush Thursday morning happened outside a village in the hilly district of Puncak Jaya. Triassunu said the victim was a first private killed by a shot to his head. No information was available on the other soldiers. The attack occurred one day after a military tribunal indicted three low-ranking soldiers for killing a civilian in Puncak Jaya last year. Papua is a former Dutch colony incorporated into Indonesia in 1969 after a U.N.-sponsored ballot. A small, poorly armed separatist movement has battled for independence ever since.
