JAKARTA, Indonesia (CNN) — Noordin M. Top, one of Asia’s most wanted terrorism suspects and believed to have been behind the twin hotel bombings in Indonesia’s capital last month, was killed Saturday, ending a six-year manhunt, law enforcement sources tell CNN.
He was killed after an 18-hour firefight with Indonesian security forces in Indonesia’s Central Java town of Temanggung, a security forces source and a police source said.
