Indonesian counterterrorism police shot and killed three suspected militants, including two would-be suicide bombers, and arrested four others during several raids on Wednesday, foiling yearend terror plots.

National Police spokesman Rikwanto told a press conference that the first raid took place at 9:45 a.m. at a rented house in South Tangerang in the suburbs of Jakarta, based on information from a suspected Muslim militant who had been arrested shortly before.

"We shot three suspects dead in the house because they opened fire on us and threw bombs," he said.
