INDONESIAN anti-terrorism police killed three suspects in a gunfight on the outskirts of the capital, Jakarta, on Wednesday and foiled a suicide bomb plot, a police spokesman said.
The raid was the latest in a series over recent weeks that police say have disrupted bomb plots, raising concern that homegrown militants in the world's largest Muslim-majority nation are getting bolder in their attempts to launch attacks.
