Officials say four alleged militants were killed and a police officer wounded by gunfire and an explosion during a raid on a suspected hideout overnight in central Indonesia.

An anti-terror official says the raid ended at around daybreak when an explosion was detonated inside a besieged village house on the outskirts of the town of Solo, in central Java.

He says that the four dead include a fugitive bomb maker who was wanted in connection with twin suicide blasts at luxury hotels in Jakarta in July.

The official says the blast is believed to have been a suicide bomb.
