Terrorist Trapped?

According to CNN one of the world's most wanted terrorists is now in police custody.

Abu Dujana, the leader of Jemaah Islamiyah, a militant Islamist group active in several Southeast Asian countries is believed to have been detained in Indonesia. The aim of JI is to establish a pan-Islamic state across the region of Southeast Asia. It is believed to be responsible for major terror attacks in Indonesia, including the October 2002 Bali bombing, which killed 202 people and other attacks or plots in Singapore and the Philippines.

Dujana is believed to be a key leader of the JI and, as one of the leaders who spent time in Afghanistan and Pakistan, is personally known by al-Qaeda.
