...Sheikh Mohammed to his associate Abu Zubaydah and other suspected terrorists were in American hands there. (Britain leased Diego Garcia, which is halfway between Africa and Southeast Asia, to the United States and barred anyone from entering the island, except by permit, in 1971.) In 2003, TIME reported that Hambali, alleged architect of the Bali discotheque bombings, was held there...
...bombs, installing four separate failsafe detonation switches for the giant car bomb. The prisoners said JI instructor Umar Patek packed the bomb's sacks of potassium chlorate and aluminum powder, while the teacher, Noordin Mohammed Top, was involved in logistics and strategy with the al-Qaeda go-between Hambali. The four men's faces have appeared on widely distributed wanted posters and on the U.S. State Department's Rewards for Justice website; $10 million is offered for Dulmatin and $1 million for Patek.

Shadowy and less flamboyant than Azahari, Nurdin was given responsibility for planning and executing J.I.'s bombing campaign, which was launched by the group's operations supremo Riduan Isamuddin (a.k.a. Hambali) at a terrorism summit in Bangkok in early 2002. (Hambali was arrested in Thailand in 2003 and is in U.S. custody.) As J.I.'s chief strategist, and as a charismatic recruiter, Nurdin is more dangerous than Azahari, says Sidney Jones, who heads the Southeast Asia office of the International Crisis Group...
