Police hunting terror suspect Noordin Mohammad Top were involved in a shoot out on Java island on Friday, Indonesian media reported.

Noordin is one of Southeast Asia's top terror suspects. He is suspected in all Indonesia's major terror attacks, including last month's bombings of two luxury hotels in the capital, Jakarta, and the blasts on the resort island of Bali in 2002.

The stations reported the shoot out took place in a village in central Java.
