Recruits Trained in Hazardous Device Making by Militants
Indonesian militants trained Abu Sayyaf recruits in remote jungle camps from late 2002 to mid 2003. About 40 men completed the hazardous device course and 60 learned sniping and combat techniques under two Indonesians linked to Jemaah Islamiyah. They practiced using cell phones and alarm clocks to detonate devices, with training interrupted by troops and involving youths from Jolo and Basilan.
