JAKARTA, July 19 (Xinhua) -- Indonesia's police chief said on Tuesday the country's most-wanted terrorist Santoso, who has been hiding in the mountainous jungles of Central Sulawesi, was killed in a shootout on Monday evening.
"We are 80-90 percent sure that (the body) is of Santoso," General Tito Karnavian told reporters in Jakarta, adding that officers also killed another man who they believed to be Santoso's deputy Basri, who was imprisoned in 2007 for beheading three Christian students but escaped jail five years later.
According to Tito, the bodies are currently going through a series of forensic tests at the police's hospital in Central Sulawesi.
