Abu Dujana Arrest is one victory in a long war

By Zachary Abuza

The arrest of Yusron Mahmudi, better known as Abu Dujana, with seven other militants, was a significant blow to the regional terrorist organisation Jemaah Islamiah. Dujana was one of the organisation's most skilled and multifaceted operatives, an Afghan-trained bombmaker, logistics expert, recruiter and, since 2003, the group's amir.

Dujana was involved in the group from its inception and had been in leadership positions since 2000. More importantly, he was respected by all factions of Jemaah Islamiah, unlike such polarising figures as Azahari bin Husin.
