Senior members of Jemaah Islamiyah, the Southeast Asian militant network responsible for the deadly Bali bombings, have declared the disbandment of the group. This announcement was made in a video statement by 16 JI leaders, confirming their commitment to the Indonesian state and law. They also stated that all teachings in JI-affiliated schools would align with orthodox Islam.
The Institute for Policy Analysis of Conflict verified the authenticity of the video statement, noting that the signatories hold significant respect and credibility within the organization, ensuring widespread acceptance of the decision.
