JI fugitive from Malaysia, Nordin Mohd Top, was reported by the Indonesian police as being shot dead on September 17, 2009 and that DNA tests has proven that he was indeed Nordin Mohd Top.
Terrorism in South East Asia will not end despite the recent killings of JI's top leaders like Nordin and some Abu Sayyaf guerillas, now being branded as criminals by the Philippines government.
As long as their vision and beliefs are not met, through terrorism activities or criminal ways, their organizations will continue to thrive and their renewal process will continue until their objectives are met, through violent struggles or by peace treaty.
It was an eye-opener that Mas Selamat Kastari had complained to Malaysia's NGO Suhakam that he was being drugged and beaten whilst being detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA) in Singapore.
Perhaps the Singapore government should set-up an independent body that will look into the welfare and well-being of all ISA detainees and it would be better if it could involve some international human rights watch activists to deter any ill-treatment of ISA detainees.
