INDONESIA'S anti-terrorist squad killed two suspected militants in a raid early yesterday in the city of Solo on Java, part of a campaign against militants prompted by the Bali bombings, whose 10-year anniversary falls next month.
A member of the elite Detachment 88 police squad died in the shootout. Another suspected militant was arrested in a separate location.
The alleged militants, who were in their late teens and came from East Java province, returned to Indonesia in 2012 after two years of paramilitary training in the southern Philippines.
