Slain Islamist militant leader buried in Indonesia

PEMALANG: Slain Islamist militant leader Dulmatin was buried in his Indonesian home village on Friday, as a large crowd of mourners chanted "God is great" and hundreds of police stood guard. The crowd of more than 2,000 shouted "Allahu Akbar" as the Jemaah Islamiyah extremist was laid to rest in the village of Pemalang in Central Java, watched by a heavy police presence, a photographer said. "The funeral has gone well, with no problems or difficulties. Everybody in this village came and helped us. This shows that my brother was a good man," Dulmatin's eldest brother Azam Ba'afut said. Dulmatin was shot dead along with two other people on Tuesday in a gunfight with counter-terrorism forces on the outskirts of Jakarta. His body was driven by ambulance from the Indonesian capital early Friday. Dulmatin had a 10-million-dollar US bounty on his head. He was accused of being a mastermind of the 2002 Bali bombings by Jemaah Islamiyah, which killed 202 people, mostly foreign tourists.
