Indonesia sees more lone-wolf terror attacks

JAKARTA: Indonesia has been hit by a spate of ISIS-inspired attacks mounted by different domestic militant groups since the start of the year.

But the worrying trend is of more lone-wolf terrorists striking random targets in the name of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militant group, said police chief Tito Karnavian.

Speaking to reporters after a meeting at the Presidential Palace yesterday, General Tito said that while the “old network” of terrorist groups remains the larger threat, “lone wolf” cases are on the rise.

“They are being recruited through social media and trained online, including being taught how to make bombs... and then they go on their missions alone,” he added.

The four-star police general did not give details of the lone-wolf cases he was referring to, but there were at least three such incidents in recent months.

One of them took place last Thursday, when an unemployed 21-year-old man attacked two officers at a police post in Tangerang, about an hour’s drive from Jakarta, with knives and pipe bombs.

The suspect was shot by a third police officer and died en route to hospital. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack.

The Tangerang case came after two suicide bombers separately tried to launch an attack on a police outpost in Solo and a Catholic church in Medan in July and August respectively. Both were unsuccessful because in one case, the bombs failed to detonate, and in the other, the militant was stopped by police.

According to Gen Tito, militant groups make use of both “lone-wolf and wolf-pack patterns”, with the former harder for the authorities to detect. “It’s simpler to do it alone, like in Medan,” he said.

Security analysts have long warned about the rising threat of lone-wolf militants, describing them as more dangerous because they are harder to track.

The frequency of such attacks in the region and around the world has increased, with more people becoming self-radicalised.

the camp only for joint training as each and every special operations unit have different ways of handling a tactical operations
nsof is just a tactical operations body to oversee and deploy special operations units which best suit the situation when it is needed

kinda terrible comparison, mumbai attack only done by 10 pipul oni

the damage is massive cuz the attacker have free reign and largely unopposed by the poorly equipped local cops that decides to just sit and holed up in their station

"quick-reaction force to curb terrorism in the early stages" these definition means nipping them in the buds like what the utk have done to arrest those isis suspects

so in the future the task of arresting those isis suspects will be done by the nsof

badly captured video that tells nuthin
they could have shot a barn and called it a day

its a reference to the 2008 mumbai attack that resulted in massive civilian casualties with only a handful of terrorist
the disaster could have averted earlier if the local cops didnt ignores the early reports and acted upon it

dunno why u asking a guarantee from fellow /ktard you so funny bunny
its a shame that a city like mumbai did not even have a swat-like unit to respond at the time (after the event a ct unit called force one was created)
at least in msia the pdrm have both utk and utc in their disposal to responds to any terror attack at any given moments
thankfully the pdrm have been geared towards ct ops since the emergency era so even a remote police station have arsenals of m16s when the situation calls for it

some fishermen did stumbles into them before the attack and made police report, unfortunately it received little attention, easier if you read up the wiki
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Mumbai_attacks

they do have an ats unit in the city but for some reason they faced off with the terrorist an hour after the attack started
a pretty awful standard for swat like teams if they dont even have a standby team on alert round the clock

the mumbai local cops was terribly outgunned and still using ww2 rifles and revolver
its high time for the indian gomen to do something about that and no crappy insas pls

at least they are on a level playing field, the vat69 also only have m16s when they lahad datu ambush happens

well that how doctrines works, not everyone doing the same thing all across the globe

future dymm with his bodyguards in a walk along event
bet they are packing some serious heat under those sports jacket

atm mobile medical unit arrived at hsa hospital

what kind of country is that? a report of heavily armed group would sets off alarm even to the highest echelon

lahad datu cops got 4x4 mounted with gpmg wor like those technicals in middle eastern conflict

well the fishermen have been warning the cops about the ports being used to smuggle explosives for the terrorist months before the attack..
too bad the cops simply dismiss the reports, at least they shud have anticipated that something large was brewing about
http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/.../india.attacks/

what they reported is rdx a more powerful and potent stuff also more expensive than the tnt and homemade bombs which were widely used in fish bombing,
obviously the fishermen knew something was not right about that

“I got to know this (about the explosives) from the Gujarat Fisherman Association leader, Devabhai Bhagat, who was tipped off that a large amount of RDX will be brought from Pakistan to Gujarat and will be transported from there in boats having the licence to fish in Mumbai.”

anyway the lesson here is such massive operation that requires a large effort and months to plan it does leave pieces of breadcrumbs for the authorities to follow and act upon it
with the lesson learned such attack nowadays is considered too risky even by the terrorist themselves and they have adapted to smaller scale lone-wolf type of attacks to thwart the authority
counter terrorism like warfare itself is essentially the struggle to evolve and adapt, those who cannot will doomed to failure

its just a discussion bro

is that guy still vying for the presidential seat in the next election?

proves that with good job they won't have to resort to piracy
