| | Terrorism in Southeast Asia |
 | | Southeast Asia has frequently had episodes of political violence which have either been explicitly or closely linked to ‘terrorism’. | | | This E-Brief discusses factors facilitating terrorist groups in Southeast Asia, the activities of Al Qaeda in Southeast Asia, and outlines key groups involved. | | | It is clear, however, that there has been significant terrorist activities in the past decade, that Al Qaeda has been involved in some of these, and that a major threat continues, as the Bali bombings have tragically illustrated. |

| | Southeast Asia and the Brotherhood of Terrorism |
| | Southeast Asia's terrorist brotherhood works closely together regardless of different political agendas. | | | Finally, the continuing existence of a terrorist haven in Mindanao in the southern Philippines, unmolested by government security forces, permits Southeast Asia's terrorist brotherhood to plan and train for their next attacks. | | | Many groups in Southeast Asia's terrorist brotherhood, such as GAM, PULO, Gerakan Mujahideen Islam Pattani (GMIP), Kampulan Militan Malaysia (KMM), Majelis Mujahidin Indonesia (MMI), Laskar Jihad, Indonesian Islamic Liberation Front (IILF) and the MILF, do not appear on the U.S. State Department's or the United Nations' list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO). |

| | The Bali attack was Southeast Asia's 9/11, and the subsequent arrests and ongoing trial of its perpetrators give an illusion of a threat contained. | | | Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo recently said she was "inspired" by Thailand's war on drugs and promised to "do a Thaksin" in her own nation. | | | But before three decades were out, Southeast Asia had fulfilled all those 1971 promises. |
