Indonesian prisoner seen for first time since 2003 CIA capture

The U.S. government says Encep Nurjamin — who’s better known as Hambali — was a leader of the Southeast Asia-based extremist group Jemaah Islamiyah. It is blamed for the 2002 bombings that killed 202 people in Bali. Hambali has been held for 13 years — first by the CIA and now by the U.S. military. He appeared for the first time Thursday at a hearing considering whether he might be allowed to leave the prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.
