JAKARTA - The head of the National Police's Anti-terror Detachment 88, Inspector General Martinus Hukom, said that the Taliban's victory over Afghanistan will have an effect on terrorism groups in Indonesia.

"This can be a model for them to do the same in Indonesia," said Martinus in an online discussion on the Youtube channel of the Police Public Relations Division, Tuesday, August 31.

This possibility, said Martinus, is based on the findings of his party. Where, many of the alleged perpetrators of terrorism discussed the victory of the Taliban.

In fact, some of them have formed new terrorism cells or groups.

"Where do we see when the Taliban succeed, then they wonder if the Taliban succeeded why we can't," said Martinus.

"Therefore, yesterday when we carried out the operation we found that they formed new cells on social media and then discussed and discussed the success of the Taliban in controlling the political stage in Afghanistan," continued Martinus.

Moreover, the Taliban also has links to terrorist movements in Indonesia. The reason is that in the 80's and 90's hundreds of members of the terrorist movement were dispatched to Afghanistan.

In fact, these people are now respected figures in terrorist groups in Indonesia. Thus, according to Kadensus, the victory of the Taliban has an effect on acts of terrorism.

"Currently these people are the central figures of the terrorist groups that I mentioned earlier, there is JI and others. Then, historically, they will continue to bring up the old pages again, awakening a new spirit with new cells. new cells in Indonesia," said Martinus.
