Abstract

Indonesia is a country where terrorists operate particularly after the attacks on September 11, 2001. There are some terror actions in Indonesia: the bombing of Senen Atrium Plaza (1998), Istiqlal Mosque (1999), the Philippine Embassy (2000), Bali Bombs I and II, J.W. Marriot Hotel (2003), Australian Embassy (2004), Rizt Carlton and J.W. Marriot Hotels. Of these cases, most of the terrorists do them on behalf of religion. A series of the terror actions cannot be separated from the Islamic radical movement in Indonesia which they call as part of a network with religious motivation. The terror actions in Indonesia give lessons that such actions can not be abandoned again, so unilateral measures and inter-agency collaboration in the national level and international cooperation to tackle terrorism threat become important.
