The Indonesian National Police's Counterterrorism Detachment 88 (Densus 88 Antiteror) reports a decrease in terrorist acts and perpetrators in Indonesia from 2021 to 2023.

According to the official Polri website, there were 6 terrorist incidents in 2021 involving 370 suspected terrorists.

In 2022, the number of terrorist acts in Indonesia decreased to one case, with the number of terrorist suspects dropping to 248.

Until October 2023, the Indonesian National Police recorded zero terrorist acts. However, 104 suspected terrorists have been arrested by Densus 88 this year.

"We hope that this year we can keep our country free from terrorist events," said Densus 88 Antiteror Polri spokesperson, Senior Commissioner Aswin Siregar, in a statement on Thursday, November 2, 2023.

Terrorist Arrests Throughout 2023

Separately, Densus 88 arrested 59 suspected terrorists throughout October 2023. These arrests were made across various regions in Indonesia, including West Sumatra, West Java, South Sumatra, Lampung, West Kalimantan, and West Nusa Tenggara.

Aswin explained that the suspects belonged to the Jamaah Islamiyah (JI) and Jamaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD) terrorist networks.

"They are part of the Jamaah Islamiyah's structural network, which has yet to be fully dismantled. This reminds us that the structural network of Jamaah Islamiyah still exists and continues to operate," Aswin said.

He also stated that these suspects were actively spreading terrorist propaganda and radical materials, both on social media and through direct activities.
