| Samudra discussed Bali bombing with Hambali |
| 2002-12-03 |
| Alleged Bali bombing mastermind Imam Samudra discussed the planned attack with a top al-Qaeda suspect but acted alone, his lawyers said on Tuesday. Samudra discussed the attack with fugitive Riduan Isamuddin, alias Hambali, who is suspected of being operations chief of the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) regional terror network and a leading member of al-Qaeda, Samudra's legal team members, Qadar Faisal and Achmad Michdan, told AFP, "but the decision to carry out the bombing was Samudra's alone," the lawyers added. Why try and let Hambali off? Is the length of his neck that important to Samudra? |

| #2 The Irish Times is announcing that Hambali has gone to ground and been replaced by our friend Mukhlas aka Ali Gifron who has promptly been arrested by the police in Indonesia along with his family. "Sure, take over for a while when your gone? Can do Hambali. Say, hold on a minute, will ya, someone's at the door." |

| #1 Sounds like Hambali is his mentor(or boyfriend) and he'll go to any length to protect him. No one's seen Hambali for a while, have they? Wonder what he's up to? Did he get a promotion, move to a new area of operation, or did he catch a bullet somewhere? |
