Jakarta, Aug 9 (DPA) Indonesian police were trying to determine Sunday whether a man killed in a dramatic raid in Central Java was in fact one of Asia's most wanted terror suspects as reported earlier.

Local television and media reported Saturday that Noordin Top was killed in a fierce firefight with anti-terror police squad at a house in Beji village of Temanggung.

However, terrorism experts expressed doubts that the lone man killed in the raid was Noordin, saying pictures circulating hours after the raid did not resemble police photographs previously published of the Malaysian-born terrorist.

'He's not yet dead, in fact DNA tests prove that the body that was recovered was not of Noordin Mohammed Top,' Rohan Gunaratna, the head of the Singapore-based Center for Political Violence and Terrorism Research, was quoted as saying by Al Jazeera television.

Gunaratna cited sources within the investigation.

Police believe Malaysian-born Noordin masterminded the July 17 bomb attacks on the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels that killed nine people including two suicide bombers.
