Southeast Asian salafist yihadist organization From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jemaah Islamiah [1] (Arabic: الجماعة الإسلامية, al-Jamāʿat ul-Islāmíyatu, meaning "Islamic Congregation", frequently abbreviated JI),[2] is a Southeast Asian militant Islamic organization. It wants the creation of an Islamic caliphate (Daulah Islamiyah) [3] in Southeast Asia. It would include Indonesia, Malaysia, the southern Philippines, Singapore and Brunei.[4] JI was added to the United Nations 1267 Committee's list of terrorist organizations linked to al-Qaeda or the Taliban on 25 October 2002[5] under UN Security Council Resolution 1267. On 30 June 2024, key members of the terror group Jemaah Islamiyah in Indonesia dissolved the organisation in a video declaration made at the National Counter Terrorism Agency in Bogor, near Jakarta.[6]
