Anti-terror effort under fire

JAKARTA, Indonesia - The anti-terror squad hurtled from a white van on a bustling street as their quarry - three terror suspects - stepped out of a taxi.

They shoved one to the ground and when he tried to shake free, shot him in the head. Another died from a bullet to the chest. The third was led away, his hands tied behind his back and his shirt covered in blood, only to turn up dead hours later.

The killings point to what critics say is a startling kill-to-capture ratio by US-trained forces at the core of Indonesia's anti-terror fight: One suspect killed for every four arrested.
