At the end of October 2008, Indonesia’s Attorney General announced the planned execution of three members of the radical organization Jemaah Islamiah (JI) responsible for the 2002 terrorist attacks in Bali, which left 202 people (mostly tourists) dead. Following the announcement, Jihadis have discussed taking hostages to prevent the executions.
The Jihadi Monitoring Group (JWMG) is a specialized research and analysis team at the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT). Composed of researchers fluent in Arabic, the JWMG monitors websites that support and serve the Global Jihad organizations. The unique characteristic of JWMG publications is the team's integration of diverse materials from a wide variety of Arabic sources. JWMG connects each source to larger trends, providing a complete understanding of events on both a local and a global scale.
