Since 3AM this Saturday morning I’ve been watching breaking news on TV about our anti-terrorist squad exchanged fire with alleged terrorists inside a house in Temanggung, Central Java, one of them was believed as the country’s most wanted man, Noordin M Top. The man has been hunted for 7 years and believed responsible for the deadly suicide bomb attacks at JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton, Jakarta, last month.
Until now the police have rounded up the house for almost 17 hours and the reporters have constantly given details about what was happening. I feel like watching an action movie only this one is real. I wish I could stay longer in front of my TV but I can’t, it’s almost 9AM now and I have something to do. Will update about this later.

Update: the shootout ended shortly after I left, around 10AM. There was only one body found in the house. Later the National Police chief said they could not yet disclose the identity of the killed man. They will announce it after DNA test result next week. Many people doubted that it was Noordin’s body, I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t him. Here’s the video of the shootout.
