...Istie told police that one visitor who dropped by her home was MILF commander Mokasid Delna. That relationship is important, says Kit Collier, an Australian political scientist who recently compiled a report on combating terrorism in Southeast Asia for the International Crisis Group, a Brussels-based think tank.
