...Riduan Isamuddin, a.k.a. Hambali, himself claims to have had no success dealing with southern Thai militants. The alleged former JI operations chief told his U.S. interrogators shortly after his arrest in central Thailand last August that Thai militants refused to help him blow up tourist spots in the country, recalling, "They did not agree with the targets." Whatever the motives behind the latest violence, there is no sign it will let up: last Friday, Thai security officers found a time bomb at a police station about 40 kilometers from the military base where the four soldiers were murdered. For once...
...several hundred JI operatives arrested and interrogated in the region over the past two years indicates that the MILF has maintained close links with JI?including offering training facilities for hundreds of its recruits?almost since JI's inception in the mid-1990s. JI's alleged former operations chief Riduan Isamuddin, a.k.a. Hambali, made this clear to his interrogators after his Aug. 11 capture. "Large numbers of Indonesian members of Jemaah Islamiah are hiding in the Philippines and are supporting the MILF," he stated baldly...
...working principle of professional interrogators that every detainee wants to tell his story. It did not take long for Riduan Isamuddin--the al-Qaeda operative better known as Hambali--to prove that rule. In fact, it took less than two weeks. After his Aug. 11 arrest in southern Thailand, al-Qaeda's top man in Asia was turned over by Thai authorities to his mortal enemies, agents of the U.S. According to reports they wrote dated Aug. 22 and Aug. 26, copies of which were obtained by TIME, Hambali confessed to his involvement in recent terrorist attacks that have left...
...most wanted fugitive in Southeast Asia, Riduan Isamuddin was used to a life on the run. For most of the past two years, he hopscotched across Asia, slipping in and out of Pakistan, Indonesia and Thailand, hiding in safe houses and eluding pursuers from several countries, including the U.S. During that time, Isamuddin--known as Hambali, al-Qaeda's top operative in Asia--allegedly masterminded a string of terrorist attacks, including last October's nightclub bombings in Bali and the bombing of the JW Marriott Hotel in Jakarta this month. Two weeks ago, Hambali moved into a one-bedroom apartment...
...Riduan Isamuddin, who effectively assumed al-Faruq's responsibilities in southeast Asia after the latter's arrest, was himself captured by Thai police and the CIA on Aug. 11 in a tiny apartment an hour north of Bangkok. But Isamuddin, better known as Hambali, appears to have required far less pressure than al-Faruq. Regional intelligence officials have told Time that Hambali began to talk openly about his terror activities shortly after he was taken to an undisclosed location to face u.s. interrogators. One of the key revelations: Hambali told the interrogators that his replacement in the network is Azahari...
