Indonesia is exploring ways to repatriate a Guantánamo Bay detainee accused of involvement in a series of deadly terror attacks, including masterminding the 2002 Bali bombings, according to reports.

Riduan Isamuddin, known as Hambali, was the former leader of Jemaah Islamiyah, a Southeast Asian terrorist group, and was considered al-Qaida’s top representative in the region. He is accused of being the ringleader in the Bali nightclub attack that killed more than 200 people, as well as financing the Jakarta Marriott Hotel bombing in 2003.
