Abu Bakar Bashir is an Indonesian Muslim cleric and leader of the Indonesian Mujahedeen Council.
He ran the Al-Mukmin boarding school in Ngruki, Central Java, which he co-founded with Abdullah Sungkar in 1972. He was in exile in Malaysia for 17 years during the secular New Order administration of President Suharto resulting from various activities, including urging the implementation of Sharia law.
Intelligence agencies and the United Nations claim he is the spiritual head of Jemaah Islamiyah and has links with Al-Qaeda. On 27 July 2008 he split from JI and started his own terrorist organization called Jamaah Ansharut Tauhid.
