 Asia Times - Hambali: The driven man
Security officials in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines add that "Hambali", a nom de guerre taken from Imam Hambali, a famous 8th-century Islamic saint, is also linked to attacks in the region that started with the Christmas bombings of churches in Indonesia in December 2000 and the subsequent bombings in the Philippines.
Hambali was the eldest of 12 siblings in a deeply religious family and first studied Islam at the sekolah pondok or village religious school founded by his grandfather in Sukamanah village.
US intelligence officials have linked Hambali to such figures as Ramzi Yousef, now in jail in the United States for the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, and information from Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, a key al-Qaeda leader arrested in March, is said to support this.

Hambali, an Indonesian whose real name is Riduan Isamuddin, has been taken to an undisclosed location for interrogation by American officials, hoping to find out how much success he had in what is believed to be one of his main roles: recruiting new pilots for suicide attacks in the United States.

Hambali was not only considered Southeast Asia's most dangerous terrorist but the go-between linking JI and al-Qa'ida until his capture in August 2003.
Hambali was born in West Java in 1966, the second of 13 children to a local imam in Pamokolan.
Following Hambali's arrest, eminent JI researcher Sidney Jones argued that it was the transparency of the Bali arrests and trials that had ultimately persuaded many sceptical Indonesians that they had a real home-grown problem with JI.

At Hambali's core was a calculating ruthlessness that allowed him to regularly dispatch those disciples on missions that would result not only in scores of victims but also in their own deaths.

 Hambali had been plotting attacks - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
BANGKOK, Thailand -- Hambali, the alleged mastermind of al-Qaida's campaign of bombings in Southeast Asia, was plotting new terror attacks when he was captured this week, possibly against a Bangkok summit that President Bush is expected to attend, Thailand's prime minister said Saturday.
Hambali, an Indonesian whose real name is Riduan Isamuddin, planned to make Thailand a base for terror operations, but his arrest -- and those of three of his associates since June -- has uprooted his Jemaah Islamiyah terror network from the country, the Thai leader said.
Thai authorities are believed to have known Hambali was in the kingdom in January last year, when he planned the Bali bombings at a meeting in Bangkok.

 Hambali's Capture: How Significant For The War On Terror?
As was the case with many other Islamic radicals of his generation, this experience as a mujahideen warrior instilled a burning belief in the utility and sanctity of jihad, both as a means to recapture the glory of the Muslim past and as a viable way of overcoming seemingly immutable power asymmetries.
More recently, Hambali was implicated as one of the "masterminds" behind the October 2002 bombings on the island resort of Bali, which represents the worst international terrorist incident since September 11 and the most catastrophic attack ever to hit Southeast Asia.
This being said, the fact that Hambali does not seem to have played a critical role in JI operational activities for nearly a year casts doubt on just how consequential his removal will be in terms of general threat mitigation.

Hambali, who is being interrogated at the joint British-American air base in Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia, said an initial Al Qaeda outlay of $ 30,000 was used to fund the Bali bombings that left 202 dead, media reports quoted American intelligence officials as saying.
