JAKARTA (Reuters): Indonesia is looking into ways to repatriate an al Qaeda-linked Guantanamo Bay detainee accused of involvement in some of the country's deadliest attacks, including the 2002 bombings on the resort island of Bali, according to the state news agency.

Described by former President George W. Bush as "one of the world's most lethal terrorists," Riduan Isamuddin, better known as Hambali, is accused of helping to plan the Bali nightclub attack that killed more than 200 people, mostly foreigners, and of financing the Jakarta Marriott Hotel bombing in 2003.
