[history]
His capture was one of the civilized world's biggest coups in the War on Terror. The August arrest of Riduan Isamuddin, better known as Hambali, removed another al Qaeda killer from global circulation. Hambali was the terror mastermind behind Jemaah Islamiyah (JI, al Qaeda in Southeast Asia). The "brain" who planned the October 2002 mass murder in Bali, he served as both people "connector" and supply conduit for numerous attacks throughout the region.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Like so many other al Qaeda big shots, Hambali put up minimal resistance when the CIA and Thai police nabbed him in Bangkok, Thailand. He wore a T-shirt and shorts. Life on the lam required other sacrifices. He had also shaved his jihadi beard. Now he is chatting up interrogators about JI's plans for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Bangkok Oct. 20-21, which President George W. Bush will attend. JI targeted two hotels for bomb attacks."
There might be a grain or two of truth to Hambali's statement regarding the bombs. One the Taliban's websites (now defunct) was www.muslimthai.com/taliban before it went to jwebs.com (now defunct). OPINION: Taliban & Al Qaeda seem to be spread out around the world -- looking for those soft spots, I suspect.

Great post! Thanks, John.
They're a suicide cult of thugs brainwashed by an ideology of victimization and propped up by Arab oil cash.
Sharp police work stopped their evil act.
Sharp police work and coordinated intelligence sharing led to Hambali's arrest. Chalk up a victory for the civilized.
More on big time terrorist, and cowardly worm, Hambali - and his Islamic terrorist co-worms.

When you've got them by the hambalis,
they pee their pants ratting out
rather than blow themselves up.

The title of this thread is one misspelled word away from being perhaps every bit as funny as "All Your Base Are Belong To Us ..."
