Four Indonesians killed in shootout

MALAYSIA: Four armed Indonesian robbers suspected of carrying out
more than 25 heists were shot dead in a clash with Malaysian
police in southern Johor state, reports said on Monday.

The four were believed to be en route to another robbery when
they were intercepted by police at a highway after a tip-off, The
Star said.

Police, who had been tracking the suspects for two weeks,
fired several warning shots and ordered them to surrender but the
four charged at the policemen with knives and machetes, prompting
them to shoot, it said. --AFP
