Counterterrorism forces have shot and killed one of Southeast Asia’s most-wanted Islamic militants, Indonesia’s president said Wednesday.
The police said the militant, who went by only one name, Dulmatin, was a senior operative for Jemaah Islamiyah, the Southeast Asian terrorist network with links to Al Qaeda. He was killed in a raid near an internet cafe in Jakarta on Tuesday morning, the authorities said.

The authorities had accused Mr. Dulmatin of setting and triggering one of the bombs used in an attack on a Bali nightclub in 2002 that killed 202 people.
