Indonesian police are working around the clock to identify the body of a suspected militant leader, Noordin Muhammad Top. He was apparently killed in a farmhouse gunbattle, after police discovered what they say was a plot to kill Indonesia's president in a suicide car bombing.

Police are reluctant to confirm the killing of Noordin Muhammad Top until they have completed DNA analysis on the body. The house where the militant leader was reportedly killed was just five kilometers away from the residence of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Officials say Noordin Muhammad Top, along with other militants, had been plotting to bomb the home of the President.

The man has been blamed for some of the deadliest militant attacks in Southeast Asia in recent years. These include last month's suicide bombings at the J.W.Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels in Jakarta that killed seven people. He is also a self-proclaimed al-Qaida commander.
