5 Suspects killed in Indonesia's Bali island

Indonesian police have shot dead five suspected militants on Indonesia's Bali island, officials say. The men, killed in two raids on Sunday, had targeted several locations in Bali, the chief of Indonesia's anti-terror unit told the (BBC). Officers also seized firearms and ammunition on the island, where a bombing in 2002 killed more than 200. The five are believed to be linked to the Jemaah Islamiah (JI), a regional group that is linked to al-Qaeda. JI, which has carried out attacks across South-East Asia, was responsible for the 2002 Bali bombings. The suspects killed late Sunday are believed to be linked to a militant group that carried out bank robberies in Medan, Sumatra in western Indonesia in 2010. The group had also reportedly been responsible for setting up paramilitary training in Aceh and in Solo, central Java, authorities said.
