Arrests Point To New Face Of Terrorism
Farouk Arnaz, Ronna Nirmala & Camelia Pasandaran | April 23, 2011



The arrest of 19 terrorism suspects and the subsequent discovery of a Good 
Friday bomb plot appears to have revealed a new breed of terror. 

Most of the newly arrested were university graduates and were apprehended in 
various parts of the country in relation to the series of book bombs sent to 
various prominent figures in Jakarta last month. 

Their arrest on Thursday also led police to five bombs meant to blow up a 
Catholic church and an Army weapons warehouse in Serpong, Tangerang, on Friday. 

But antiterrorism sources say they have yet to find any real link between these 
men and known terrorism or Islamist groups. 

"The face of terror is changing now," one police source said, pointing out 
similarities between this group and other "lone wolves" who planned and carried 
out attacks without the support or backing of major networks. 

They included the 2006 bombing of an A&W restaurant in East Jakarta, a bicycle 
bomb explosion in Bekasi in September and the suicide bombing of a Cirebon 
mosque last week. 

"These are individuals influenced by radical clerics from the Internet," the 
police source said. "This is the face of the terror network we are facing today 
and it is the most dangerous." 

An International Crisis Group report released on Wednesday said that "violent 
extremism in Indonesia is increasingly taking the form of small groups acting 
independently of large jihadi organizations but sometimes with their 
encouragement." 

It underlined the change in tactics and targets, opting now for secret 
assassinations and increasingly local targets. 

Noor Huda Ismail, a terrorism analyst, said these lone terrorists were inspired 
by the arrest or death of their seniors, leaders of large terror groups such as 
Jemaah Islamiyah. 

"Because their leaders were being arrested by police, these individual 
terrorists conclude that their new enemy is the police or security forces, 
that's why many of their attacks were addressed to the National Police." 

Noor said these individual terrorists might be harder to uncover and eradicate. 

However, ICG's Sidney Jones warned against drawing conclusions too soon and 
refused to rule out the possibility that a link to a larger, possibly 
mainstream group may later be uncovered. 

Ansyaad Mbai, head of Indonesia's National Counter-Terrorism Agency, has said 
that after looking at the 19 arrestees, "all the suspects in those cases are 
somehow related to mainstream figures or groups." 

Ansyaad cited the Indonesian Islamic State (NII) movement, the JI, Jamaah 
Ansharut Tauhid and other radical groups. 

"There are two types of radical groups, the terrorist and non-terrorist," he 
said. 

"They seems to be separate cases, but at one level such as in Aceh, they're 
united and all the groups meet there," he added. They are inspired by the 
mainstream group.
