Jakarta (Reuters) - Abu Bakir Ba'asyir, the self-proclaimed "spiritual leader" of terrorist organization Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), was just found dead at the remains of his home, attacked only minutes ago by precision bombing.
The attack is believed to have been carried out by unknown forces within the Indonesian military (TNI) through a calculated bombing assault.
The leader, having reportedly defected from the terrorist organization, was in the midst of a negotiation with the Indonesian government regarding the whereabouts of JI bases. The Jakarta Post cannot reveal its sources with regard to this information.
