Bali bomb maker confirmed dead

Fingerprints taken from one of the suspected militants killed in Indonesia on Thursday match those of bomb expert Azahari Husin, police have said.

Azahari, a Malaysian, is an explosives expert believed to have built the bombs used in the 2002 Bali attacks.

Earlier, Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said he was "convinced" the dead man was Azahari.

Azahari and two other men were killed after police surrounded their house in East Java.

He was initially thought to have blown himself up, but national police chief General Sutanto told reporters on Thursday that Azahari was either shot during the raid or died when another militant detonated a homemade bomb.

"Thirty wired explosives were found inside the house, which were possibly to be used to conduct bombings," Gen Sutanto said, according to the Detikcom online news service...

...Bali police chief I Made Mangku Pastika said the authorities had known who the men were for a while, but had kept the information secret so they could track Azahari.

Australian police commissioner Mick Keelty said that the identification of one of the bombers had led them to Azahari's hideout.

He added that fragments of the bombs used in Bali on 1 October matched those found in the house where Azahari was killed...
