Additional information:
Doku Khamatovich Umarov held the position of “Secretary of the Security Council” of
the self-proclaimed “Republic of Ichkeria” in 1997. In August 1999, as commander of
the so-called “south-western front”, he helped organize and actively participated in
an attack by militants on the Republic of Dagestan, the Russian Federation. In
August 2004 he was appointed "Minister of State Security of Ichkeria" and issued a
direct order for the elimination of Russian and foreign citizens.
Doku Umarov was appointed “Vice-President of Ichkeria” on 16 June 2005, by
decree of Abdul Khalim Sadulayev, the self-proclaimed “President of the Chechen
Republic of Ichkeria”. On 17 June 2006, he took over “presidential” duties following
the death of his predecessor, Abdul Khalim Sadulayev. He appointed Shamil
Salmanovich Basayev (deceased) as his deputy.
Doku Umarov was directly involved in organizing a number of major terrorist acts:
the capture of residential areas of the Vedenski and Urus-Martanovski districts of the
Chechen Republic the Russian Federation (August 2002); the kidnapping of staff
from the Office of the Public Prosecutor of the Chechen Republic (December 2002);
and the bombings of the building housing the Department of the Russian Federal
Security Service for the Republic of Ingushetia, in the city of Magas, and of two
railway trains in Kislovodsk (September 2003). He was one of the main organizers of
the raid on Ingushetia by militants on 22 June 2004, the sortie into Grozny on 21
August 2004, the hostage-taking in Beslan of 1-3 September 2004 and the terrorist
attacks in Moscow metro stations on 29 March 2010.
Doku Umarov is the leader of the Emarat Kavkaz (Caucasus Emirate)
(QE.E.131.11). He has approximately 750 militants under his command as well as
emissaries in foreign countries. In addition, he has overall command of groups
operating in the North Caucasus, organizes major terrorist acts and coordinates the
provision of resources to militants.
Doku Umarov, as the leader of the Caucasus Emirate, has past connections to
several listed entities, including the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (QE.I.10.01)
and the Islamic Jihad Union, listed as the Islamic Jihad Group (QE.I.119.05). In a
statement released in May 2009, Doku Umarov took credit for restoring the RiyadusSalikhin Reconnaissance and Sabotage Battalion of Chechen Martyrs (RSRSBCM)
(QE.R.100.03), a group previously led by Shamil Salmanovich Basayev (deceased)
and responsible for a number of high profile attacks in Russia. Since 2009, the
RSRSBCM has publicly taken credit for several terrorist attacks in Russia and has
claimed to act under direct orders of Doku Umarov.
The Russian authorities have opened a case file on Doku Umarov on the grounds of
crimes of gangsterism, attempted murder of a law enforcement officer, kidnapping,
robbery, terrorism, murder, and illicit sale of arms, ammunition and explosives. In
1992, Doku Umarov was charged with two counts of murder and was charged in
absentia for a crime committed under article 102 of the Russian Criminal Code. In
2000, an international warrant was issued for his arrest.
The Kavkazcenter has been proclaimed the official information organ of the Emarat
Kavkaz by Doku Umarov. Publications on the website are in Russian, English,
Arabic, Turkish and Ukrainian. The main address is Kavkazcenter.com. The
additional web portals are Kavkazcenter.info, Kavkazcenter.net, Kavkaz.org.uk and

Emarat Kavkaz have taken personal responsibility for terrorist acts carried out on the
territory of Russia including the one at the Domodedovo airport (Moscow) on 24
January 2011.

Date on which the narrative summary became available on the Committee’s website:
24 March 2011
Ibrahim Hassan Tali al-Asiri was listed on 24 March 2011 pursuant to paragraph 2 of
resolution 1904 (2009) as being associated with Al-Qaida, Usama bin Laden or the
Taliban for “participating in the financing, planning, facilitating, preparing, or
perpetrating of acts or activities by, in conjunction with, under the name of, on behalf
of, or in support of”, “recruiting for” and “otherwise supporting acts or activities of” AlQaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) (QE.A.129.10).
Additional information:
Ibrahim Hassan Tali al-Asiri is an operative of Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula
(AQAP) (QE.A.129.10). Al-Asiri acts as the principal bomb maker for AQAP and is
currently believed to be hiding in Yemen.
Before joining AQAP, Al-Asiri was part of an Al-Qaida-affiliated (QE.A.4.01) terrorist
cell in Saudi Arabia and was involved in planned bombings of oil facilities in the
Kingdom. In 2006 Al-Asiri was arrested by the Saudi police and imprisoned for nine
months for trying to enter Iraq to join a militant group there. Upon his release, Al-Asiri
attempted to create a new militant cell inside Saudi Arabia; however, police raided its
meeting place and six of his colleagues were killed while he and his brother Abdullah
fled to Yemen. Soon afterwards, Al-Asiri joined AQAP and has continued to engage
in terrorist activity.
Al-Asiri encouraged his brother Abdullah to participate in AQAP activity. In August
2009, Abdullah carried out a suicide attack when he detonated a bomb concealed
within his body with the intent to assassinate the Assistant Minister for Security
Affairs of Saudi Arabia. Although the assassination attempt failed, the plot
demonstrated a high level of sophistication on the part of AQAP. Ibrahim al-Asiri is
credited with designing the bomb, which contained one pound of explosives. Later,
AQAP released a video of Ibrahim al-Asiri and his brother Abdullah in which an
AQAP commander stated that Ibrahim al-Asiri had also wanted to perpetrate a
suicide attack but had to be kept behind to oversee the mission of Abdullah.
A Saudi Arabian citizen, in 2009 Al-Asiri was added to the Saudi most wanted
terrorist list, and an INTERPOL Orange Notice was distributed worldwide. The notice
was submitted as a global alert and as a request to locate Al-Asiri who posed a
dangerous threat, concerning terrorism-related activities including but not limited to
those undertaken on behalf of AQAP.

Othman Ahmed Othman al-Ghamdi was listed on 16 June 2011 pursuant to
paragraph 2 of resolution 1904 (2009) as being associated with Al-Qaida, Usama bin
Laden or the Taliban for “participating in the financing, planning, facilitating,
preparing, or perpetrating of acts or activities by, in conjunction with, under the name
of, on behalf of, or in support of”, “recruiting for” or “otherwise supporting acts or
activities of” Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (QE.A.129.10).
Additional information:
Othman Ahmed Othman al-Ghamdi is a member of the leadership of Al-Qaida in the
Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) (QE.A.129.10). Al-Ghamdi appeared in a video released
in May 2010 in which he was identified as AQAP’s operational commander. In the
same video, he appears alongside Qasim al-Rimi (QI.A.282.10), AQAP’s senior
operations commander, and Fahd al-Quso (QI.A.288.10), an AQAP operative
wanted for his role in the 2000 USS Cole bombing.
Al-Ghamdi originally became involved in terrorism in 2000, when he deserted his
post in the Saudi military in order to fight against the Russian authorities in
Chechnya. However, he abandoned his plan to travel to Chechnya when he joined
Al-Qaida (QE.A.4.01). He attended Al-Qaida’s Al-Farouq training camp in
Afghanistan and subsequently fought for the Taliban against the Northern Alliance
for over one year.
After being detained for five years following the fall of the Taliban regime in 2001, AlGhamdi was repatriated to Saudi Arabia. He eventually left Saudi Arabia and illegally
entered Yemen to join AQAP.
Since joining AQAP, he has been involved in raising funds for the organization’s
operations and activities in Yemen. He has also planned attacks and stockpiled
weapons.
Al-Ghamdi is the subject of Orange and Red Interpol Notices, which note that he is
considered armed, violent and highly dangerous. These notices also warn that AlGhamdi may carry out terrorist attacks. A Saudi Arabian citizen, Al-Ghamdi is
included on Saudi Arabia’s list of 85 most wanted terrorists.

QI.B.293.11. ABDUL RAHIM BA’ASYIR
Date on which the narrative summary became available on the Committee’s website:
19 July 2011
Abdul Rahim Ba’asyir was listed on 19 July 2011 pursuant to paragraph 4 of
resolution 1989 (2011) as being associated with Al-Qaida for “participating in the
financing, planning, facilitating, preparing, or perpetrating of acts or activities by, in
conjunction with, under the name of, on behalf of, or in support of”, “recruiting for”, or
“otherwise supporting acts or activities of” Jemaah Islamiyah (QE.J.92.02) and AlQaida (QE.A.4.01).
Additional information:
As of late 2010, Abdul Rahim Ba’asyir was a Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) (QE.J.92.02)
leader who had trained and led JI operatives in South and Southeast Asia since the
late 1990s, and provided facilities and other support to Al-Qaida (QE.A.4.01). He is
the son of Abu Bakar Ba’asyir (QI.B.217.06), one of the co-founders of JI. In 2005,
Abdul Rahim Ba’asyir was selected as the leader of JI’s administrative region
(wakalah) in central Java, Indonesia. As such, he was responsible for overseeing JI
cells and had full knowledge of certain JI operations in Indonesia in 2005 and 2006.
He maintained close relations with clandestine elements of JI in 2007. As of mid2009, he was regarded as a senior JI leader with the ability to instigate violence.
Outside Southeast Asia, Abdul Rahim Ba’asyir served from the late 1990s to 2002
as a leader of JI’s Al-Ghuraba cell in Karachi, Pakistan. A smaller organization
modeled after JI, Al-Ghuraba was formed with the approval of Al-Qaida and JI leader
Nurjaman Riduan Isamuddin (QI.I.87.03), also known as Hambali, to groom the next
generation of JI leaders, provide them with training in weapons and explosives, and
give them firsthand experience in militant operations. Hambali also planned to make
Al-Ghuraba a cover entity to support the travel of JI operatives going to Afghanistan
for Al-Qaida training. Abdul Rahim Ba’asyir was appointed by Hambali to lead JI’s AlGhuraba cell because Abdul Rahim Ba’asyir was a recognized figure within JI and
Al-Qaida. As the Al-Ghuraba leader, he indoctrinated students to become future JI
leaders and instructed that Al-Ghuraba cell members should kill westerners at every
opportunity. He also taught them how to carry out a hijacking operation.
While in Pakistan and Afghanistan from the late 1990s to mid-2002, Abdul Rahim
Ba’asyir served as JI’s main contact with Al-Qaida and played a key facilitation role
for Al-Qaida. He swore an oath of loyalty to Usama bin Laden (QI.B.8.01) and
provided logistical, communications, and media support to Al-Qaida in several
instances. He also served as an Al-Qaida conduit for fighters in Pakistan and as an
intermediary between Hambali and Al-Qaida, relaying messages between them.
Abdul Rahim Ba’asyir was one of several Al-Qaida members who controlled an AlQaida media center in Afghanistan and directed its activities. The media center
produced videos and photos for Al-Qaida propaganda. He was also present at a
meeting of selected 9/11 hijackers in Afghanistan in May 2001 and likely participated
in making the videos of their last wills and testaments. Upon returning to Indonesia
in 2002, he continued to provide support for Al-Qaida. As of early 2004, he was
reportedly Al-Qaida’s only contact in Southeast Asia. He regularly passed
information to a senior Al-Qaida operative known as Abu Talha until at least mid2004.
Abdul Rahim Ba’asyir has also been involved in JI's outreach to the Pakistan-based
terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Tayyiba (LET) (QE.L.118.05). Sometime after 1999,
he was tasked by JI member Zulkarnaen (QI.Z.187.05) to run a madrassa in
Pakistan and was encouraged to expand cooperation between JI and LET through
this madrassa.

(QE.A.1.01) and personally developed explosive devices for this Philippines-based
organization.
As of early 2010, Patek was considered to be one of JI’s top leaders. In his capacity
as a leader of the JI network in Mindanao, the Philippines, Patek received
approximately $29,000 to cover his expenses and his JI group’s militant activities in
the southern Philippines. Patek obtained funding for operations that were to include
a large-scale car bombing in metropolitan Manila, attacks on Philippine military
camps in Mindanao and assassinations of prominent foreigners.
In 2002, Patek was involved in planning and preparing the 12 October 2002 JI Bali
bombing, which killed 202 people. A few weeks before the blasts, Patek attended a
meeting in Solo, central Java, Indonesia, where participants, including JI leaders
Joko Pitono (deceased), also known as Dulmatin, Imam Samudra (deceased) and
Mukhlis, who is also deceased, agreed to execute the Bali bombings. Patek was
personally involved in assembling the van bomb and explosives used in the Bali
attack.
As of mid-2007, Patek and Dulmatin were teaching ASG members bomb-making
techniques to include training in improvised explosive devices (IEDs). The IEDs were
intended to block Armed Forces of the Philippines troops who might be in pursuit of
JI and ASG. As of early 2006, Patek had built bombs for ASG using 60 mm mortar
bombs.

“participating in the financing, planning, facilitating, preparing, or perpetrating of acts
or activities by, in conjunction with, under the name of, on behalf of, or in support of”

Additional information:
Muhammad Jibril Abdul Rahman is a senior member of Jemaah Islamiyah (JI)
(QE.J.92.02) and has been directly involved in obtaining funding for terrorist attacks
and other JI-linked operational activities. He is the son of Mohamad Iqbal
Abdurrahman (QI.A.86.03). Muhammad Jibril Abdul Rahman was sentenced in
Indonesia to five years in jail on 29 June 2010 for concealing information about
terrorist crimes in connection with attacks in Jakarta, Indonesia, on 17 July 2009,
and for falsifying documents. On 17 July 2009, two suicide bombers detonated
explosive devices at the J.W. Marriott and Ritz-Carlton Hotels in Jakarta, killing
seven people and wounding approximately 50 others.
Muhammad Jibril Abdul Rahman has solicited funds on behalf of senior JI member
Noordin Mohammad Top (deceased), who led the JI faction that conducted the
group's 17 July 2009 attacks. In August 2008, Muhammad Jibril Abdul Rahman
agreed to provide Top with funding for terrorist operations at a meeting with Top and
Saefudin Zuhri, the main plotter of the 17 July 2009 bombings who is also deceased.
Muhammad Jibril Abdul Rahman contacted his Saudi-based brother to request that
he arrange for approximately $10,000 in cash to be passed to Top. A letter found on
Top’s laptop written by Zuhri identified Muhammad Jibril Abdul Rahman as the
connection between Top’s network and foreigners providing funding. Muhammad
Jibril Abdul Rahman also personally went to Saudi Arabia in September 2008 to
raise funds for terrorist attacks.
As of late 2008, Muhammad Jibril Abdul Rahman was working on behalf of JI
member Imam Samudra (deceased) and other JI members responsible for bombings
in Indonesia. Samudra was executed on 9 November 2008 in Indonesia for his role
in the 2002 Bali bombings, which killed 202 people.

of that cell. While in Pakistan, he participated in military training and, in 2001 was
dispatched to Kashmir by JI member and Al-Ghuraba cell leader Gun Gun Rusman
Gunawan (QI.G.218.06). Muhammad Jibril Abdul Rahman returned to Pakistan in
2007, where he met with Al-Qaida (QE.A.4.01) and Taliban personnel. Jibril’s
contact with Al-Qaida shows his intention to obtain support from Al-Qaida and to
advance Al-Qaida’s objectives.

Qaida, Usama bin Laden (QI.B.8.01), had devoted most of Al-Qaida’s funds to
support Salim’s plan. Salim swore allegiance to Bin Laden in the late 1990’s.
Salim has also been involved in the Salafist Group for Call and Combat (GSPC),
which merged with Al-Qaida in 2007 and became the Organization of Al-Qaida in the
Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) (QE.T.14.01). Salim joined GSPC in 2001; he fought in
Mauritania and served as a communications link between GSPC and Al-Qaida. As of
late 2009, Salim was wanted in Mauritania for planning an attack in 2005 against the
Mauritanian military. At the same time he provided weapons and explosives training
to AQIM members in Mali, including in the use of AK-47 assault rifles and rocketpropelled grenades. Salim has also fought against Algerian forces on behalf of
GSPC and was sent by GSPC leaders to Pakistan to arrange the merger between
GSPC and Al-Qaida.

(AQI) (QE.J.115.04), which is also known as the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI). He is in
charge of running AQI/ISI operations and is currently based in Iraq. Ibrahim Awwad
Ibrahim Ali al-Badri al-Samarrai is responsible for managing and directing AQI/ISI
large scale operations, such as the assessed AQI 28 August 2011 attack on the
Umm al-Qura Mosque in Baghdad which killed prominent Sunni lawmaker Khalid alFahdawi.
Ibrahim Awwad Ibrahim Ali al-Badri al-Samarrai became the leader of AQI/ISI
following the deaths of Abu Ayyub al-Masri and Abu Umar al-Baghdadi in April 2010.
In a statement eulogizing Usama bin Laden (QI.B.8.01), Ibrahim Awwad Ibrahim Ali
al-Badri al-Samarrai, under the alias of Abu Bakr al-Husayni al-Baghdadi, threatened
blood, destruction and fear in retaliation for Bin Laden’s death. Three days after Bin
Laden’s death, under the alias of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi al-Husseini al-Quarashi,
Ibrahim Awwad Ibrahim Ali al-Badri al-Samarrai claimed responsibility for an attack
on Hilla, Iraq, that killed 24 policemen and wounded 72 others. In a statement,
AQI/ISI claimed 23 other attacks south of Baghdad between 26 March and 16 April
2011. All of these attacks were carried out under Ibrahim Awwad Ibrahim Ali al-Badri
al-Samarrai’s stewardship.

attacks across Iraq in retaliation for Bin Laden’s death. The statement warned that
the campaign would include raids, suicide attacks, roadside bombs and attacks with
small arms in all cities and rural areas across Iraq.

Monir Chouka was listed on 25 January 2012 pursuant to paragraphs 4 and 5 of
resolution 1989 (2011) as being associated with Al-Qaida for “participating in the
financing, planning, facilitating, preparing, or perpetrating of acts or activities by, in
conjunction with, under the name of, on behalf of, or in support of” and “recruiting for”
the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (QE.I.10.01).
Additional information
Monir Chouka, alias Abu Adam, is strongly suspected of having been a member
since 2008 of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU) (QE.I.10.01) whose
purposes or activities are inter alia directed at committing murder and manslaughter.
The investigating judge at the German Federal Court of Justice has issued a warrant
for the arrest of Monir Chouka dated 5 October 2010, based on the strong suspicion
of membership in a terrorist organization abroad.
After a phase of increasing radicalization, Monir Chouka and his brother Yassin
Chouka (QI.C.301.12.) decided to participate in militant activities in support of AlQaida (QE.A.4.01) and associated entities. At some unspecified date, probably in
April 2007, they left Germany for Yemen, and thereafter joined the IMU, integrating
themselves permanently into its structures.
In the autumn of 2008 Monir and Yassin Chouka and others recorded the video
"Good News from Afghanistan". In January 2009 they took part in the video "Allah's
Soldier Part 1". In April 2009 the video "Victory or Shahada" followed. In September
2009 appeared the fourth video, "Merits of Jihad". In October/November 2009 both
were involved in the video "Abu Safiyya in: He Came, He Saw, He Conquered".
The video "The Merits of Jihad", which had been announced in the previous video
message "Victory of Shahada" as the sequel entitled "Fadl al Jihad", shows a scene
in which Yassin and Monir Chouka are sitting to the right and left of the leader of the
IMU, Tohir Abdulkhalilovich Yuldashev (deceased). As reported in another IMU
video that was secured on 24 November 2009 ("Abu Safiyya in: He Came, He Saw,
He Conquered") this person (Abu Safiyya) died on 17 October 2009. Both Monir and
Yassin Chouka glorify his death as a martyr's death.
In a statement called" Der Fall 'Schokocafe'" secured on 15 April 2011 in a Internet
forum used by Al-Qaida and associated entities Monir called inter alia on his "dear
brothers and sisters" in Germany to kill German people from the Federal President
right down to ordinary citizens except those who distance themselves from counterterrorism policies of the Federal Government.
The remarks of Monir and Yassin Chouka in the videos also show that they were
aware of the ideology, goals, and methods of the IMU and by participating in the
videos they made their own contributions within the organizational structure. Monir
and Yassin Chouka put themselves in the service of the organization as multipliers,
disseminating the organization's messages over the Internet and thereby inter alia
recruiting new members or supporters.

Date on which the narrative summary became available on the Committee’s website:
25 January 2012
Mevlüt Kar was listed on 25 January 2012 pursuant to paragraphs 4 and 5 of
resolution 1989 (2011) as being associated with Al-Qaida for “participating in the
financing, planning, facilitating, preparing, or perpetrating of acts or activities by, in
conjunction with, under the name of, on behalf of, or in support of” Islamic Jihad
Group (QE.I.119.05).
Additional information
On the basis of police investigations, Mevlüt Kar is under strong suspicion of having
committed criminal acts, inter alia supporting the terrorist cell active in Germany
around ringleader Fritz Martin Gelowicz (QI.G.259.08). In December 2006, Gelowicz,
Adem Yilmaz (QI.Y.261.08), and Atilla Selek (QI.S.270.09), prosecuted in separate
proceedings, joined together to form a terrorist cell in the Federal Republic of
Germany. This cell belonged to the network of the Islamic Jihad Group
(QE.I.119.05). Their object and goal was to commit attacks with explosives within
Germany. Daniel Martin Schneider (QI.S.260.08) joined this cell in February 2007.
The investigating judge at the German Federal Court of Justice has issued a warrant
for the arrest of Mevlüt Kar dated 17 August 2009, in connection with this, based on
the strong suspicion inter alia of supporting a terrorist organization.
Since leaving Germany in 2002, Kar has been living in Turkey. The connection to the
German terrorist cell around the ringleader Gelowicz came about through his contact
to Selek, who left for Turkey on 8 February 2007. The group planned for Selek to
bring the detonators necessary for the attacks back to Germany, having been
provided with them in Turkey.
To procure the necessary detonators, Kar met with a "Mityn", who has not been
further identified, in Istanbul in April 2007. At that meeting, Kar took possession of a
pair of shoes with 20 detonators concealed in their soles. Kar informed Selek of this,
who in turn passed the information on to Gelowicz in Germany. After that, delays
concerning the delivery of the 20 detonators from Turkey to Germany prompted Kar,
to arrange an alternative delivery. On 17 July 2007 Selek informed Gelowicz of this
and communicated to him that the "replacement detonators" were already on their
way to Germany. According to instructions from Kar transmitted by Selek, Gelowicz
drove on 3 August 2007 to Mannheim, Germany for the handover of the detonators.
Gelowicz was given four mechanical and two electrical detonators during this
handover. On 7 August 2007 Gelowicz confirmed to Selek that he had received the
detonators and told him that more detonators would be needed in the next three
weeks. Selek communicated this request to Kar, who then arranged the transport to
Germany of the shoes with 20 detonators hidden in the soles already in his
possession.

appointed Achwan as acting and supreme leader of JAT. Achwan had served on
JAT’s executive council since 2008.
Achwan has performed a number of leadership duties in JAT, overseeing the
allocation of funds and promoting its terrorist training, recruitment, and operations.
In May 2011, Achwan hosted a meeting in Jakarta, Indonesia, to discuss JAT’s
financial status and methods for finding new revenue sources and donations. Later,
in June of 2011, Achwan requested that certain JAT funds be given to senior
Jemaah Islamiyah network leader and Al-Qaida (QE.A.4.01) operative Abdul Rahim
Ba’asyir (QI.B.293.11).
In late 2010, Achwan inducted new JAT recruits and instructed its members to
participate in physical training to prepare for acts of violence. Also in late 2010,
Achwan directed paramilitary training in Poso, Indonesia, with another Jemaah
Islamiyah and JAT member. In November 2010, Achwan instructed JAT’s “Laskar
99” (a special JAT unit involved in weapons training) to unconditionally support
violent activities throughout the world, and informed them about weapons available
to members with the requisite training.
In an August 2010 Indonesian press interview, Achwan said he had no intention of
giving up his “obligation” to wage violence, and he condoned the use of violence
against the Indonesian police’s anti-terrorism squad Detachment 88. Achwan also
praised Jemaah Islamiyah militants Dulmatin (deceased) and Imam Samudra
(executed in 2008 for his role in the 2002 Bali bombings, which killed 202 people).
In 2009 or 2010, Achwan provided funding for a camp in Aceh, Indonesia which
gathered militants from various regional groups under the leadership of Jemaah
Islamiyah operative Dulmatin. The militants, using the name “Al-Qaida in Aceh,”
plotted to kill aid workers and tourists. Elements of Jemaah Islamiyah and several
other groups organized the Aceh camp’s military training, and several leading
Jemaah Islamiyah figures were involved with the camp between January 2009 and
February 2010.
As of 2007, Achwan was a leader of Jemaah Islamiyah in Eastern Java, Indonesia.
Then-Jemaah Islamiyah leader Abu Bakar Ba’asyir tasked Achwan with establishing
a logistical hub for Jemaah Islamiyah to plan and prepare attacks.
