Voice from the Commonwealth Commentary, World Views and Occasional Rants from a small 'l' libertarian in Massachussetts
"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

The confidential report, seen by The Associated Press today, painted a picture of a well-connected, sophisticated group which uses modern technology, such as mobile phones and e-mail, to communicate and whose members have had extensive training. The report said the three territorial cells are known as "mantiqis." Mantiqi 3, or M3, was based in Camp Abubakar, the main camp of the secessionist Moro Islamic Liberation Front in the southern Philippines, before it was moved to Poso in Central Sulawesi when the Philippine military overran Abubakar in 2000.
M3 - which covers Borneo, Brunei, Sawarak, Sabah, Kalimantan and Sulawesi - was run from Poso until that site was closed down by Indonesian authorities late last year, the report said.
M2 covers all of Indonesia except Sulawesi and Kalimantan. It is based in the city of Solo, Central Java province, which is also home to the group's alleged spiritual leader Abu Bakar Bashir.
M1, based in Malaysia, covers Malaysia, Singapore and southern Thailand, the report said. Scores of suspected members of Jemaah Islamiah have been jailed in Singapore and Malaysia.
