Indonesia ? Police hunting members of a new terrorist group in western Indonesia fatally shot two suspects and arrested six others at a security checkpoint today, an official said.

On Tuesday, the group’s alleged leader, Dulmatin, was shot dead near Jakarta.

Police killed two of eight suspects who fled from a bus that was stopped at a checkpoint 14 miles west of the Aceh provincial capital of Banda Aceh, provincial police chief Maj. Gen. Aditya Warman said.

There was a 15-minute gunbattle before the remaining six suspects surrendered and were arrested, Warman said.

Police seized five assault rifles from the suspects, he said.

Police have killed at least seven suspected militants in Aceh and on the main Indonesian island of Java in the past month since they raided a paramilitary training camp.
