When the first JI cell was broken up in December 2001 by Singaporean and Malaysian officials, it was alarmingly close to executing a major strike on U.S. and other Western embassies in Singapore and Jakarta, as well as launching a U.S.S. Cole-style attack against U.S. naval vessels making port calls. JI hooked up with the MILF and other regional militant groups, and with al-Qaeda funding established its own franchises, such as Laskar Jundullah headed...
