Dulmatin, one of Southeast Asia's most wanted terrorists who was killed in a raid in Pamulang, South Tangerang, on Tuesday, is scheduled to be buried in his hometown Pemalang in Central Java on Friday.

“Dulmatin's family will collect the body and transported it by car to Pemalang tonight for a funeral tomorrow,” Dulmatin's former Jamaah Islamiyah partner Abu Wildan said as quoted by kompas.com.

Counterterrorism squad personnel shot dead Dulmatin during a raid on an Internet café in Pamulang on Tuesday. Later in the day the squad gunned down two other terrorist suspects, who were allegedly Dulmatin’s guards.

Dulmatin was wanted for the suicide bombings that ripped through two Bali nightclubs in 2002, killing 202 people, mostly foreigners.
