A National Police spokesman says that fingerprint identification was enough to confirm whether Dulmatin, a top-ranked Southeast Asian militant wanted for planning the 2002 Bali bombing, was killed in a raid Tuesday.
Insp. Gen. Edward Aritonang told reporter Wednesday that the police own fingerprint database of Dulmatin.
“All we have to do is to see whether [the data] matched. Fingerprint identification is valid enough, we don't have [to do] DNA [test],” he said as quoted by Antara news agency
Three terror suspects were shot dead in bloody raids in Pamulang, Tangerang, Banten.
Police said that one of the suspects, who was the main target, allegedly provided financial assistance to militants who recently trained in Aceh. The suspect reportedly fired a shot before police shot him dead at an internet cafe.
Media and sources identified the man as Joko Pitono, also known as Dulmatin, a key Jemaah Islamiyah leader.
