Indonesian security forces say they have killed three suspected militants in two raids near the capital Jakarta, which were said to be associated with an ongoing operation against militants in Aceh province that has brought a number of arrests.

The first raid took place at an internet cafe in Pamulang city, west of the capital, local media reported. The cafe owner told AP that the suspected militant had been logged on to the internet for about five minutes when officers stormed in. Police said the suspect fired one shot from a revolver before he was killed.

In the second operation, police said they had shot dead two suspected members of the same group and arrested two more.

Anti-terror police chief Tito Karnavian told the media the dead man from the first raid was a "big name". A police spokesman, Edward Aritonang, later said that it was unclear if the man was Dulmatin, a top member of the Jemaah Islamiah (JI) group, who is wanted over the Bali bomb attacks in 2002 that claimed the lives of 202 people.
