Indonesian counterterrorism forces stormed an Internet cafe and a nearby house on the outskirts of Jakarta on Tuesday, killing three suspected terrorists and arresting two others. Counterterrorism officials said security forces were targeting Dulmatin, a senior operative for Jemaah Islamiyah, the Southeast Asian terrorist network with links to Al Qaeda responsible for a string of bombings in Indonesia, including the 2009 twin bombings of the Marriot and Ritz-Carlton hotels that killed seven people and injured 50. Dulmatin is also believed to be one of the masterminds of the 2002 Bali nightclub bombings that killed 202 people, mostly foreign tourists…Tuesday’s raid came a week before President Obama is due to arrive in Jakarta for a two-day visit…The United States government has offered a $10 million reward for Dulmatin’s capture. – New York Times
