JAKARTA (AFP) - Counter-terrorism police in Indonesia shot dead three suspected militants and seized 14 homemade explosives on Friday, officials said, in the latest of a series of deadly raids by the elite unit.
The police squad conducted several raids in the capital Jakarta and on its outskirts early Friday after the suspected militants robbed a jewellery store last weekend, national police spokesman Boy Rafli Amar said.
"Three were shot dead and four more were arrested today," he said, adding the suspects were shot after resisting arrest in three separate raids.
The police squad also confiscated 14 homemade bombs, five homemade firearms, 34 munitions and one kilogramme of gold, Mr Amar said.
