M'sian terror suspect Noordin killed: TV

Malaysian Islamist Noordin, 40, was one of the most wanted alleged terrorists in Asia.

He was blamed for multiple suicide bombings in Indonesia which have killed more than 40 people since 2003.

Noordin was a member of the Jemaah Islamiah regional terror movement responsible for the 2002 Bali bombings which killed more than 200 people, but split around 2003 to form his own militant group, analysts said.

He was wanted over suicide bombings on the JW Marriott in Jakarta in 2003, the Australian embassy in 2004 and tourist restaurants in Bali in 2005.

Police have come close to arresting Noordin several times in the past and have captured or killed some of his closest associates during the six-year manhunt.

Days after the July 17 attacks a woman believed to be his third wife was arrested, also in Central Java.

Hmmm...kudos to the Indonesian Police! I wonder if PDRM could have succeeded to catch the 'Top' terrorist if he was in Malaysia since our police have proven to be super effecient in catching 'terrorists' on the streets.
