Police sources have told Al Jazeera that tests on a body recovered after a shootout in Indonesia are likely to confirm that it is not that of the main suspect wanted for hotel bombings in Jakarta.
- At least one body was brought out of a house in Central Java after a 17-hour police siege, but the sources said on Sunday that the dead man was an associate of Noordin Mohammed Top rather than the man himself.
- DNA tests are being carried out in Jakarta to confirm the identity of the body.
- One of Noordin's wives and children were travelling to the capital to provide samples, Dynno Chressbon, another government adviser, said.Chressbon also expressed secpticism that Noordin had been killed.
- Police moved in on a house near the village of Beji late on Friday where a man resembling Noordin was said to be hiding, and after heavy fighting it was reported that he had been killed.
- Sidney Jones, a consultant for the International Crisis Group, said that police had seemed to have been convinced that Noordin was inside the building during the siege.
