On December 6, lawyers for the three men convicted of carrying out the 2002 Bali bombing, Amrozi, Ali Ghufron (alias Mukhlas), and Imam Samudra, filed requests for judicial review of their convictions. The attorneys argued that the 2003 antiterror law, which was passed after the bombing and under which the bombers were convicted, could not be applied retroactively. At year's end, the review was underway.

Even after the October 2002 Bali bombing, the madrassas where most of the terrorists were trained, are still up and running spreading their hatred and breeding new jihadists. On top of these Koranic schools and radical mosques, Jemaah Islamiyah can count on the financial support of numerous Islamic NGOs.

The London terrorist attacks might be thought of as Britain's 9/11 - as the 2002 Bali bombing was for Australia and the 2004 Madrid bombings were for Spain. However, the 7/7 atrocities in London represent a somewhat different narrative to those of New York or Madrid. The bombings in London were primarily carried out by home grown terrorists: three of the four bombers are known to be British-born young men with no convictions or known prior terrorist involvement. The fourth bomber is thought to be of Jamaican origin.

The ABMEC is being given to the Balinese Department of Health by the Australian Government, as part of its Bali Recovery package to improve medical services in Bali in the aftermath of the 2002 Bali bombing. The two new mobile eye clinics were part of the same gift to continue the Foundation’s Sight Restoration and Blindness Prevention Project which provides free treatment to the poor.
On December 21, the Supreme Court overturned the conviction for conspiracy of JI spiritual leader Abu Bakar Ba'asyir in connection with the 2002 Bali bombings. After a key witness renounced his statement that Ba'asyir had attended meetings where the bombings had been discussed, the court decided there was insufficient evidence to uphold Ba'asyir's conviction. Ba'asyir had already completed his prison sentence.

In April, the police declared that around 200 people had been arrested since anti-terrorism operations began after the 2002 Bali bombing. At least 56 people were arrested under anti-terrorism legislation during 2006, and a further 24 people previously arrested were convicted. Despite declarations made in February by the government and lawmakers that anti-terrorism legislation (Law 16/2003) would be revised, there was no visible progress during the year.
