"His capture is another important victory in the global war on terrorism and a significant blow to the enemy," said White House spokesman Scott McClellan aboard Air Force One. Hambali, who is also known as Riduan Isamuddin, "facilitated" a January 2000 meeting in Malaysia attended by two men who later became hijackers in the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on America, a senior administration official said. The official called Hambali "one of the world's most lethal terrorists," saying his group, Jemaah Islamiah, was also linked to a series of church bombings in the Philippines. He was the most wanted man in Southeast Asia and was seen as the bridge between Jemaah Islamiah and Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda, blamed for the Sept. 11 attacks.
