One of South-East Asia's most wanted terror suspects is reported to have been killed by Indonesian police.------------------------------------------
An official in Jakarta and local TV say Noordin Mohamed Top died when police stormed his hideout in central Java after a 17-hour siege.
Bodies were seen being removed from the house but police have not confirmed Noordin was one of those killed.
Malaysian-born Noordin is suspected of orchestrating the Bali bombings of 2002 and other major attacks.
They include the bombings of two Jakarta hotels last month that killed nine people and injured scores of others.
Police said the anti-terror operation in the Temanggung district followed the arrest on Friday of several suspected militants loyal to Noordin.
