Bali, Indonesia, Rabi'II 26, 1433, Mar 19, 2012, SPA - Police fatally shot five men who were allegedly planning to rob money changers, jewelers and other targets on Indonesia's resort island of Bali in a suspected bid to fund terrorist attacks, officials said Monday. Several semiautomatic guns, magazines of ammunition and masks also were recovered during separate raids on a bungalow and a boarding house late Sunday, said Saud Usman Nasution, a national police spokesman. "We believe they were trying to get money to finance other (terrorist) activities," he said, adding the alleged ringleader, Hilman Jayakusuma, had been on a most wanted list for more than two years. The elite anti-terror unit opened fire after the suspects tried to escape with guns blazing, said Hariadi, a police spokesman on Bali, according to a report of the Associated Press. --SPA 13:01 LOCAL TIME 10:01 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/980931
