Jemaah wants to create Asean Pan Islamic State

JEMAAH Islamiyah (JI), an Indonesian-based militant group, has evolved from a terror organization into a vicious Muslim nationalistic group, after pledging allegiance to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), a source from the intelligence community said.

The same source revealed that JI has been working for the establishment of a Pan Islamic State in Southeast Asia, which prompted it to launch terror campaigns in various countries in the region during the past years.
