JAKARTA, Indonesia — Indonesian police said Sunday they have fatally shot two men suspected of burning down a remote police station on Sumatra island. National police spokesman Rikwanto said the suspects were killed early Sunday in the West Sumatra district of Dharmasraya, about 220 kilometres (137 miles) from the province capital of Padang. Rikwanto, who uses a single name, said police opened fire when the men resisted and ignored warning shots. He says police confiscated from the suspects bows and arrows, bayonets, a knife and a handwritten message with militant content. Local media reports said the two men attacked officers with arrows, injuring at least one.
