Al-Qaeda has bankrolled all major JI attacks
2006-02-28
Osama bin Laden's terror network helped fund all the suicide bombings in Indonesia in recent years, a senior police official said Tuesday, highlighting links between al-Qaida and the regional militant group Jemaah Islamiyah.

Money for the attacks, which have occurred annually in the world's most populous Muslim country since 2002, was delivered by courier to leaders of Jemaah Islamiyah, said Col. Petrus Reinhard Folose of Indonesia's counterterrorism taskforce.

"It came from the head of al-Qaida," he told reporters on the sidelines of an international terrorism conference, refusing to say if he meant bin Laden himself.
