National Police spokesman Insp. Gen. Edward Aritonang said his team had identified one of the three  terrorist suspects killed in raids Tuesday, but declined to release information on the suspect.  

Edward said his team was not 100 percent positive about the identification as the suspect may have used a fake ID card. A source close to the police revealed that the suspect had been identified as Yahya Ibrahim, kompas.com reported.

The suspects, one of them a woman, were gunned down during raids on Jl. Siliwangi and Jl. Setiabudi in Pamulang in South Tangerang.
 
“They supplied weapons and financial aid to the terrorist group in Aceh,” Edward told a press conference in Jakarta.
 
Another suspect killed in the raids is believed to be the country's most wanted terrorist, Dulmatin, also known as Joko Pitono or Umar Patek, who was involved in the 2002 Bali bombing.
