Staying Alert to Terrorism
Several recent cases involving suspected terrorists have reminded us that we must remain alert to the threat of terrorism.
Special Detachment 88 Arrests Four Suspected JI Affiliated Terrorists in Lampung.
One of these cases concerned a shoot-out between six suspected terrorists and officers from the National Police’s Densus 88 anti-terrorism squad in Lampung on Tuesday and Wednesday (11-12/4/2023). Two terrorists were killed and four others were arrested during the incident, while one policeman suffered a gunshot wound.
On Monday (10/4), two policemen were injured when they were assaulted by three Uzbekistan nationals trying to flee from the North Jakarta Immigration Office. The three were members of the Katiba Tawhid Wal Jihad terrorist network and were waiting to be deported to their country of origin.
