The extremist group behind the Bali bombings says it has disbanded. Can it be believed?

In short:

Jemaah Islamiah became the most feared terror threat in South-East Asia after the group attacked nightclubs in Bali in 2002.

Last month, 16 senior members of the group pledged their commitment to renounce violence and abide by Indonesian law.

What's next?

Experts say Jemaah Islamiah no longer poses a serious threat to security in South-East Asia, although the risk of lone wolf attackers remains.
