International jihad alert from The Star, with thanks to Nicolei:
KUALA LUMPUR: Jemaah Islamiah (JI) has a house in Pakistan where students from Malaysia and Singapore are indoctrinated and prepared for militant activities.Gungun Rusman Gunawan, a brother of Ridwan Ishamuddin (better known as Hambali, a key man in al-Qaeda's operations in South-East Asia who was captured in Thailand in August 2003) revealed this in his confession to the Indonesian police last year.
A source disclosed the contents of the confession to The Star recently.
Gungun and 18 others, including 13 Malaysians, were picked up by the Pakistan Federal Agency and the United States Central Intelligence Agency in Karachi in September 2003 for suspected militant activities.

JI have always had a presence in Pakistan, much more than just one house. Some recent news on them here, for Indonesia.

And
During September 2003, a group of Indonesian, Malaysian and Singaporean students linked to Jemaah Islamiyah were uncovered in Pakistan. Their cell was known as al Ghuraba. Originally, Abdul Rahim, the son of Abu Bakr Bashir, headed Al Ghuraba. Its prime function was to provide training that would lead into two Pakistani jihadi groups, the Punjab-based Army of the Pure (Laskhare e-Tayyiba) and the Harakat-ul-Mujahideen.
From jinsa.
