Have you ever stopped to consider what a life is like for a Terrorist, is it a series of smoke filled rooms planning and plotting new atrocities, living life on the run moving from one safe house to another, constantly looking over your shoulder. Apparently not for Noordin Mohamed the Leader of Jemaah Islamiyah the South East Asia affiliate to Al Qaeda.
this is the man suspected of planning the Jakarta hotel bombings in Indonesia this month. His wife thought he taught at an Islamic school and was not suspicious of his frequent trips away from home. When he was at home she said he was a model husband helping to cook and clean, look after the kids, reading them bedtime story’s, and praying at the local mosque.
But then he would be of on one of his many “trips” which always coincided with a terrorist attack , he has been linked to attacks on the Marriot hotels in 2003 and suicide attacks in Jakarta in 2004 and 2005. Mohammed has now gone on the run escaping before a raid on a hideout on June 21, and has now been named as the mastermind behind the July 17 attacks on the Ritz and Marriot hotels which killed at least seven people and injured many more. It appears to be a full time job being a terrorist though it does not look like he will be doing any bedtime reading to his children for a while.
