Most wanted terror suspect Noordin M. Top stayed in a house rented by his accomplice in Jatiasih in the West Java town of Bekasi after suicide bomb attacks on two South Jakarta hotels last month, police say.

“We found that Noordin stayed at the safe house in Jatiasih after the July 17 bombings,” National Police chief Gen. Bambang Hendarso Danuri told a press conference on Saturday.

He said a terror suspect who was arrested on Aug. 5 in North Jakarta, Amir Abdillah, told the police investigators during a questioning that Noordin was in Jatiasih to lead a plan to launch fresh attacks in Jakarta.

The police’s counterterror squad raided the house early Saturday, killing two terror suspects following an exchange of fire.

Noordin is believed to have been shot dead in another raid on a house in the Central Java town of Temanggung on Saturday.
