Southeast Asia’s most-wanted Islamist militant, a man involved in over 200 murders and who claimed to be Al Qaeda’s representative in the region, may have been killed in a police shootout Saturday, Indonesian police said.

Indonesian police are conducting forensic tests to see if Noordin Mohammed Top, a recruiter and explosives expert who led a splinter wing of the Jemaah Islamiah (JI) Islamist network, was among the dead after a 17-hour siege between militants and elite counterterrorist police thatå ended Saturday.
