(NSI News Source Info) JAKARTA, Indonesia - March 10, 2010: Indonesian police today gunned down a man suspected to be a member of a terrorist
group and arrested four others in two separate locations in Pemulang, Tengerang, Banten.
The group, believed to have links with a terrorist network in Aceh Besar, was sought after by police for the past few days.
Indonesian Police Headquarters Public Relations Division chief Edward Aritonang told reporters this evening that the man was shot at his house in Jalan Siliwangi, Tengerang, for defying police orders and firing at police during the raid.
They also found a revolver loaded with five bullets, 12 live bullets and an empty shell in the house.
"The suspect fired a shot at police but did not hit his target, prompting the police to retaliate," said Aritonang, adding that a woman and three children were also detained to help facilitate investigations.
Meanwhile, police also arrested four other suspects in Jalan Setiabudi, Pamulang, Tengerang today.

Aritonang said all five suspects were believed to be terrorists involved in the supply of fire arms and fund contributors in Aceh Besar.
Their discovery was possible with information received from other terrorist suspects, arrested in Aceh Besar, several days ago.
The police had earlier shot dead three terrorists and arrested 14 others in a large-scale operation in Aceh Besar.
Last week, two terrorist suspects were arrested separately in Bandung, West Java and another here, who were also believed to be linked to the group.
Meanwhile, Indonesian Coordinating Political, Legal and Security Affairs Minister Djoko Suyanto was quoted by Antara news agency today as saying that there was no change of plans to US President Barack Obama's visit to Indonesia, despite the arrest of terrorists.
Obama is scheduled to visit Indonesia from March 20 to 22.
