World Focus: Bali II: Another Elusive Terror Mastermind on the Loose
Monday, October 03 @ 16:35:53 UTC |  By Kurt Nimmo, kurtnimmo.com
Azahari bin Husin, said to be the explosives "mastermind" behind the Bali bombings this past weekend, has a very interesting background. He is not your average rural madrassa religious fanatic or "al-Qaeda" goat herder of the sort captured in Afghanistan. Husin is a "former university lecturer and gifted mathematician," according to the Sydney Morning Herald. "He returned home to obtain his degree, and at the end of the 1980s went to Reading University in England, where he impressed his tutors so much they persuaded him to stay on to complete a doctorate." Husin's future was promising as a lecturer at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia at Skudai in the southern state of Johor--and then he suddenly experienced a fanatical religious "epiphany" under the sway of the late Abdullah Sungkar and Abu Bakar Bashir, followers of the Darul Islam ideology and co-founders of Pondok Ngruki and eventually Jemaah Islamiyah, an Islamic separatist movement supposedly dedicated to the establishment of a fundamentalist Islamic state in Southeast Asia.
