For those not in the know, Hambali is the purported leader of JI, the organisation behind the Bali bombing & also thought to be behind the recent bombing of the Marriot Hotel in Jakarta.
He had been on the run in SE Asia, eluding police from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, but was finally nabbed in Thailand (apparently).

Afternote: read on CNN that he was planning to attack the APEC summit due to be held in Thailand later this year. He was arrested by Thai authorities & handed over to the CIA.
