The United States has promised to extradite Hambali, a suspected Asian terrorist, to Indonesia for trial after American interrogators complete their investigation of him. Reports from journalists accompanying President Bush on his trip to Asia indicate that he made this promise during discussions with Indonesian officials. The report does not provide a timeline for Hambali's return. He is of Indonesian descent and is considered the head of operations for the terrorist group Jemaah Islamiyah in Southeast Asia. Hambali was arrested in Thailand in August and handed over to American authorities, and it is reported that he is being interrogated at an undisclosed location. Jemaah Islamiyah is known for such terrorist acts in the region, primarily in Indonesia.
