...Indonesian Fathur Rohman al-Ghozi, a self-confessed JI member with links to the Philippines' two major Islamic guerrilla groups, the MILF and the Abu Sayyaf. After his January capture in Manila, al-Ghozi said he carried out the bombings on the orders of JI operations commander Riduan (Hambali) Isamuddin. Equally worrying, recent Mindanao bombings suggest that Abu Sayyaf has returned to its roots as a purely terrorist organization rather than a kidnap-and-extortion gang...
...activities of radical clerics like alleged Jemaah Islamiah head Abubakar Ba'asyir allowed Islamic radicalism to put down deep roots in the Malaysian Muslim community. There is no arguing, either, with the fact that Malaysia was used by the likes of Abubakar and his alleged henchman Hambali as their haven for over a decade and eventually as a rendezvous for both regional and global militant conclaves organized by JI.

After the strong showing in the Oct. 10 general elections, the religious parties will control Baluchistan and Northwest Frontier Provinces?hideouts for al-Qaeda and Taliban fugitives. These radical clerics may either put a stop to the FBI's investigations in these provinces outright...
...Jabarah, a 20-year-old Kuwaiti-born Canadian citizen, who was arrested in Oman in April and is now being interrogated at an undisclosed location in the U.S. According to sources familiar with an FBI report of Jabarah's interrogation, details of his testimony?including the dramatic order by Hambali to target bars and nightclubs?were passed on by U.S. officials to all Southeast Asian governments in August, a full two months before the Bali attack...
