– Nasir Abbas, a former member of the Indonesian hardline group Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) describes fellow recruit Encep Nurjaman as “typically Javanese”.
Nurjaman, who is better known by his nom de guerre Hambali as well as by the alias Riduan Isamuddin, was “polite”, “soft” and “proper”, Abbas told Al Jazeera, remembering the time the two men were part of one of the most fearsome groups in Southeast Asia.
Hambali and Abbas both trained in military combat together in Afghanistan in the 1990s, before joining JI which was labelled a terrorist organisation by the United States government after the group claimed a string of attacks across Indonesia in the early 2000s, including the Bali Bombing in 2002, which left more than 200 people dead.
