JAKARTA - The disclosures and arrests of suspected terrorists have recently become more frequent. In fact, in a day three suspected terrorists were arrested in several areas. So, there are suspicions that their movement to return to action is getting stronger.
Not long ago, to be precise on Friday, June 5, two suspected terrorists, namely the US and TA, attacked the Daha Selatan Police, South Kalimantan. The two were called members of the terrorist group Jamaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD) South Kalimantan network.
The two suspected terrorists were arrested at different locations. The US was arrested in the area of Baru Gelang, Kusan Hilir, Tanah Bumbu, South Kalimantan. Meanwhile, TA captured in the Banjar Baru area, South Kalimantan.
On the same day, a terrorist suspect with the initials AR was arrested at his workplace or at a gallon water depot on Jalan Sungai Pinyuh, Mempawah Regency, West Kalimantan.
Terrorism observer of The Community of Ideological Islamic Analyst (CIIA), Harits Abu Ulya, said that the arrests of suspected terrorists were not because they were returning to spread acts of terror. Instead, the Police are cleaning up remnants of the terrorism network.
"In my opinion, it is not like that (the terrorist movement, ed) but more because the police want to clean up what remains of the network," Harits told VOI, Wednesday, June 10.
He said this step was taken by the police to eliminate efforts to spread terrorism ideologies. So, their existence will disappear over time.
The quality of terror is getting lowerAccording to him, currently the quality of the terror produced is low. Because, the top brass is almost finished. So that the ability to carry out the action is not like its predecessor.
He added that the pattern of attacks to be carried out by terrorist groups was still the same. Namely by targeting law enforcement officials.
"Their ability to take action has fallen far from before. Although there are only a few people who still have plans of attack, it is likely that the quality of attacks is still as usual," said Harits.
However, something different will happen in the Poso region, Central Sulawesi. According to Harits, the potential for attacks and acts of terror is quite large. The reason is, until now the figure of the group leader has not been caught. Even the police are still searching for its top brass.
"Except in areas designated as areas of operation such as Poso. There is the potential for sporadic attacks on security forces to come from people who are on the DPO (People Wanted List)," said Harits.
