JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Indonesia anti-terror police shot and killed five suspected Islamist militants in eastern Indonesia, the latest assault against a network of extremists behind deadly attacks on officers, authorities said Saturday.

The men were killed in raids on Friday night and Saturday morning on the remote island of Sumbawa, police spokesman Lt. Col. Agus Rianto and state news agency Antara reported. They followed the killings of two suspected militants earlier Friday on Sulawesi island, also in the east of the country.
