The Indonesian National Police (Polri) arrested 170 suspected terrorists throughout 2016. This figure represents a 107 percent increase compared to 2015, which saw 82 cases. During the arrests in 2016, 33 suspected terrorists died, and 40 others were sentenced by the court. The remainder were returned to their families or are undergoing trial and investigation.

According to National Police Chief Tito Karnavian, as reported by *cnnindonesia.com*, this increase is due to the dynamic situation in Iraq and Syria. Tito explained that pressure from several countries has led the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militant group to order all its sympathizers to carry out terror attacks around the world.

Tito stated that the counter-terrorism operations also resulted in casualties among Polri personnel. Eleven officers were injured and one officer was killed in the line of duty in 2016.
