JAKARTA: Indonesian police said Sunday it could take two weeks to
confirm the death of Asian terror mastermind Noordin Mohammed Top,
who was reported killed in a dramatic standoff with police special
forces. The Islamist was killed Saturday morning in a hail of
gunfire and explosions from US-trained counter-terrorism forces who
had surrounded his suspected hideout in remote Beji village, Central

The 17-hour siege of the farmhouse was the
culmination of a series of raids and arrests of his accomplices,
which uncovered a plot to attack President Susilo Bambang
Yudhoyono’s home outside Jakarta, police said.
