ACTIVITIES/ 8:03:00 PM here is a list of some notable attacks by the JI: October 2002: A triple bombing in Bali killed over 200 people. August 2003: Bombing of the J.W. Marriott Hotel in Jakarta, Indonesia. September 2004: Australian embassy bombing in Jakarta that killed ten and wounded hundreds is thought to be a JI attack Our perspective on this terrorist group: We feel that because the people who initiated the activities are often brothers and hence they can easily influence each others' thoughts and actions. We also feel that there is a controversy in their thinking as we heard that they mentioned all Westerns are murderers, however, they often end up being the ones killing innocent people who have beliefs of their own. |

OBJECTIVES/ 8:02:00 PM In essence, JI has a jihadist vision and wants to establish an Islamist state in the region, probably encompassing Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the southern Philippines and southern Thailand. Group factions differ over how to achieve this goal: A minority group, led by Hambali, is interested in focusing on a broader anti-Western agenda similar to al Qaeda, and in effecting change in the near term….Opposing this faction is a majority group within JI, depicted as the "bureaucrats," that sees these tactics as undermining its preferred, longer term strategy of building up military capacity and using religious proselytization to create a mass base sufficient to support an Islamic revolution. |
