ALTHOUGH the strength of the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) weakened in 2004 compared to 2003, this would not affect its operations in the country, the military said Monday. “The decrease was attributed to the arrest of JI members in Indonesia and Malaysia,” spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Buenaventura Pascual said in a statement.

But Pascual added: “The JI members in the country are expected to continue waging jihad against the Philippine government in pursuit of unifying Southern Philippines with other Southeast Asian states.”
