Indonesia says legal system slows fight against terrorism

Christine T. Tjandraningsih

JAKARTA, October 10 (Kyodo News)  -- Indonesia's legal system
contributes to the image that the country is soft on fighting
terrorism, a top antiterror official said Tuesday.

Ansyaad Mbai, chairman of the Counter-Terrorism Board Office of the
Office of the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security
Affairs, said Indonesia was once known as a country imposing the
toughest measures against terrorist movements in Asia.

''We had an anti-subversion law, a very powerful intelligence body and
we used military operations to crack down on them,'' Mbai told a panel
discussion with the Jakarta Foreign Correspondents' Club. ''The result
-- we were accused of violating human rights.''

''Today, we don't want to repeat such mistakes,'' he said, adding that
the use of force only serves to further harden the terrorists.

The government is now committed to fighting terrorism with law
enforcement ''with the risk that we are sometimes regarded of being
too slow,'' he said.

The country's legal system, however, still contains many weaknesses,
including the difficulty in determining whether an act of violence
should be categorized as a terror attack.

According to Mbai, in many countries, military training and
recruitment by civilian groups are categorized as terrorism, but in
Indonesia, such acts are only regarded as ordinary crimes.

The government, he added, is now looking for ways to make its laws
more effective, including offering a so-called de-radicalization
program, broadcast by the state-run television Televisi Republik
Indonesia and directed at radical groups.

Involving Muslim militants who oppose the use of violence in achieving
their goals, the program was carefully designed without identifying
the figures, who were former recruiters and trainers of terrorist
suspects in Jemaah Islamiyah, a Southeast Asia terrorist group linked
to the al-Qaida terror group.

''However important their position in JI, once they are seen in
contact with the government, they will not be respected any longer,''
Mbai said.

He did not go into details about the program, but said several
episodes have been launched without the public being really aware what
kind of program it is.

On the same occasion, Sidney Jones, terror expert of the
Brussels-based International Crisis Group, said the government also
needs to impose stricter controls on prisons, where militant convicts
can easily get JI materials and commercial publishers publish them.

One of the books commercially published was written by Imam Samudra,
who was sentenced to death for the Bali bombing attacks in 2002 that
killed 202 people, mostly Western holidaymakers.

She also warned about the spread of inflammatory texts from the Middle East.

The majority of Indonesian Muslims are moderate. However, since the
downfall of former President Suharto, who oppressed Muslim hardliners,
the rise of democracy in the country has led to the revival of
radicals, started by the bombing attacks on several churches across
the country on Christmas Eve 2000.

Indonesia Makes Progress Against Terrorism, But Threat Remains

By Nancy-Amelia Collins, Jakarta

The threat of terrorist attacks is still alive in Indonesia. Security
experts and the nation's top anti-terror official agree progress is
being made against Southeast Asia's most dangerous terrorist
organization, Jemaah Islamiyah.

Jemaah Islamiyah has carried out a terrorist attack in Indonesia
annually since 2002, when the group staged a double bombing on the
island of Bali that killed 202 people.

Since then, J.I., as it is known, has been blamed for a series of
bombings in Indonesia and the Philippines, including the 2003 suicide
bombing of the Marriot Hotel in Jakarta, the 2004 bombing outside the
Australian embassy in Jakarta, and more attacks in Bali in October
2005.

Jemaah Islamiyah, which has been linked to the al-Qaida terrorist
organization, is the largest terror group operating in the region. It
has been active in Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore,
and its stated aim is to create an Islamic state spanning the southern
tier of Southeast Asian nations.

The Indonesian police have arrested more than 300 Muslim militants
since the first Bali bombing, prosecuting and jailing most of them.
Several of these men are now on death row.

But despite those arrests, and the death last year of J.I. leader
Azahari bin Hussein in a shoot-out with police in Central Java,
security experts and the government say the threat of another attack
is still very real. Among other reasons, Noordin Top, another J.I.
leader and one of Southeast Asia's most wanted terrorists, is still at
large.

Sidney Jones, director of the International Crisis Group's office in
Indonesia, and an expert on Jemaah Islamiyah, says the organization is
weakened and splintered, but not defeated.

"I think we are seeing a regeneration of the mainstream Jemaah
Islamiyah. Not so much with the idea of bombing Western targets in
mind, but with the idea of reviving and reconsolidating this as an
organization," she said. "I think we are dealing with a very resilient
organization."

Jones says it is not clear what the group's new objectives or strategy might 
be.

"There is a large focus on the need for military preparation, even
within this group that's not concerned with bombing," she said. "And
the question is, what are the objectives and what is this organization
going to do with the military training or preparations that they get?"

Major General Ansyaad Mbai, Indonesia's top anti-terror official, also
says the government has made a lot of progress against terrorism, but
he says law enforcement alone will not end the threat.

"Because terrorism is a politically and ideologically motivated
movement, therefore, counter-terrorism cannot count on raw force or
hard power to suppress its development," he said. "Our experience
therefore shows that the arrest, detention, trials, including death
sentences, even military operations, do nothing to stop terrorism."

Instead, Ansyaad says, the government has started a program to educate
the public, in part through television, in the hope of undermining
Jemaah Islamiyah's efforts to recruit new members.

He says the program targets individuals in what he calls the "radical
movement" who have denounced violence and are willing to work with the
government.

Other efforts involve television programs run by moderate Islamic
clerics who urge the faithful to follow Islam in a peaceful manner.

At least one former militant says Jemaah Islamiyah's chances of
recruiting large numbers of people have already been doomed by the
group's own actions.

Nasir Abbas, a former J.I. leader, is the brother-in-law of Muklas,
one of the masterminds of the 2002 Bali bombing. Nasir trained in
Afghanistan, and established a militant training camp in the southern
Philippines.

He says he opposed the plan to carry out the first Bali attack,
because he believes it is unacceptable to kill innocent civilians.

After he was arrested in Indonesia in 2003, Nasir says he decided to
cooperate with the government in its fight against J.I.

"What they did is killing the civilians, killing unarmed people,
killing non-military people," he said. "This is something I can say
that is not war, that is not battle, that is not jihad, but that is a
mass kill, a mass killing operation. They ruin the movement of Jemaah
Islamiyah."

Indonesia is a secular, democratic nation with the world's largest
Muslim population. Most people practice a moderate form of Islam. As a
result, Nasir thinks the killing of innocent people - Jemaah
Islamiyah's primary activity - has destroyed any chance of the group
gaining mass support among the public.

JI attacks to avenge capture of wife

Emma-Kate Symons, Manila

A WAVE of deadly terrorist bombings in the southern Philippines has
been blamed on a Jemaah Islamiah campaign to avenge the capture of the
wife of Bali bomber Dulmatin.

As Australians commemorate the anniversary of the Bali attacks of
2002, bomb expert Dulmatin remains on the run in the southern
Philippines, despite a sustained US-backed Philippines military
offensive aided by Australian expertise in maritime security and
logistics.

But Istiada Binti Oemar Sovie, Dulmatin's Indonesian wife, was
arrested and taken into custody along with her two sons by Philippines
forces last week during military action on the troubled island of
Mindanao.

The raid was part of the military's campaign to flush out fugitive
terrorists Dulmatin, his co-Bali bomber Umar Patek and the local
terrorist leader sheltering them, Abu Sayyaf's Khaddafy Janjalani.

Under interrogation, Oemar Sovie, who was flown to a military compound
in Manila after her arrest on immigration violations, confirmed
Dulmatin was still alive and would "fight to the death" rather than
surrender to the military.

As Southeast Asia's most wanted terrorist, who planned and carried out
the 2002 Kuta attacks, Dulmatin has a $US10million ($13 million)
bounty on his head, offered by the US Government for his capture.

Six people died in a bomb blast late on Tuesday in the Mindanao town
of Makilala, with the bombers targeting a market stall selling alcohol
in the predominantly Christian town.

Philippines military and political leaders directly linked the attack,
and two more bombings yesterday, to JI fury over the military assault
in the south and the capture of Dulmatin's wife.

Military chief General Hermogenes Esperon Jr told local television
that groups with links to al-Qa'ida wanted revenge for the seizure of
Dulmatin's wife, and also aimed to divert military focus away from the
jungles in the province of Sulu where JI and Abu Sayyaf guerillas are
hiding.

He named JI and Abu Sayyaf as "our No1 suspects" in the search for the
bombers responsible for Tuesday's market attack.

Questioned by The Australian, Philippines Executive Secretary Eduardo
Ermita, the chairman of the presidential anti-terrorism taskforce,
admitted the Philippines security forces needed to be on higher alert
to uncover terrorist attacks before they happened.

"We must double our efforts at intelligence gathering because they
(JI, Abu Sayyaf and allied terror groups) are going to intensify their
terrorist activities," he said.

Australian, US and British tourists have been warned to avoid the
southern Philippines in alerts that highlight the "imminent" danger of
attacks on foreigners.

The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs warning, renewing a
similar alert in June, said shopping malls, bars, pubs and houses of
worship -- and any cities frequented by foreigners, including in the
capital Manila -- could also be targeted for attack.

Mr Ermita said he "could not blame" foreign governments such as
Australia for issuing severe travel warnings for The Philippines, even
if he had no "specific information" that foreigners were specifically
at risk in the capital.

"We cannot disagree," he said, adding that Western tourists should
stay away from trouble spots in the southern Philippines "for the
moment".

Mindanao is home to most of The Philippines' minority community of
Muslims, who represent about 5 per cent of the population in this
overwhelmingly Catholic country.

Dulmatin, his wife and her stories

By Johnna Villaviray-Giolagon

The wife of the Bali bombing suspect Dulmatin has confirmed to
Philippine interrogators that at least seven members of Jemaah
Islamiyah are in the country.

Apart from the more notorious Dulmatin and Omar Patek suspects in the
2002 Bali bombings that killed over 200 mostly Australian tourists
were four other Indonesians and a Singaporean national, says Istiada
binti Oemar Sovie during interrogation by security officials.

She identified the Indonesians as Baharin, Zae, Tom and Karim, who she
says are still in Maguindanao. The Singapo­rean, Manobo, was in Sulu.

Istiada was taken into custody shortly after midnight October 3 in an
operation led by military intelligence and other elite military units.
She was taken along with her two sons, aged eight and six, from a
small house in Patikul town in southern Sulu province where they have
been staying since being forced out of a Muslim-rebel lair in January
this year.

Information provided by Istiada has helped demystify Dulmatin, whose
background has largely been secret. According to Istiada, Dulmatin's
real name was Amar Usman, who was born in Petarukan, Indonesia, in
1969. Dulmatin has eight brothers and sisters, one of which-Atikah-is
also in Maguindanao. She and Dulmatin have six children, the youngest
of whom was born in Maguindanao. Two sons are with Istiada in military
custody while the rest, including a son and daughter studying in an
Islamic school in Jolo, are still in Mindanao.

Istiada saw Dulmatin only once since arriving in Sulu-in August-but
that they talked fairly regularly through mobile phone. She said they
discussed only family matters during telephone conversations, the last
of which was on September 22.

The interrogation focused on Istiada's relationship to Dul­matin and
his personal circumstances and how she and her children traveled from
Indonesia to Sulu. Interrogators observed that Istiada was cooperative
but they believe she was holding back relevant information about Abu
Sayyaf personalities, particularly on Abu Sayyaf chieftain Khadaffy
Janjalani. They think Indonesian authorities would be able to extract
more information from her.

The military earlier said Istiada cooked and dressed the wounds of Abu
Sayyaf members injured in battle. And Armed Forces spokesman, Lt. Col.
Bartolome Bacarro, confirmed that they have been receiving reports
that Dulmatin and Patek, who have been under the protection of
Janjanlani, were traveling with a woman.

But Istiada's interrogation did not touch on the role she played to
Janjalani's group.

She did, however, recount how she traveled with her children from
Pemalang in the northern coast of Central Java, Indonesia, to the
Philippines over three years ago.

She said they traveled with Dulmatin's sister, Atikah, who is married
to another Jemaah Islamiyah operative, Baharin. From Pemalang, they
took a commercial vessel to Sabah where they were met by a Filipina.
The group stayed in Sabah three months before taking a small boat to
Bongao, Tawi-Tawi.

>From Tawi-Tawi, the family took a commercial vessel to Zamboanga City
before boarding another commercial vessel to Cotabato City. From there
they traveled by land to Sultan Kudarat in Maguindanao province where
Camp Dara­panan of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front is located.
Istiada said they stayed in the area for a year before transferring to
Parang municipality, also in Maguindanao.

Istiada's account of the family's early days in the Philippines ties
up with military assertions that JI operatives, along with the Abu
Sayyaf under whose auspices they travel with, have received sanctuary
in MILF territory.

But then even the MILF leadership did not dispute the possibility that
certain MILF personalities may have coddled the Indonesians. In an
earlier interview, MILF chairman al-Haj Murad Ebrahim said that some
members-those sent to fight n Afghanistan in the 1980s-have formed
individual relationships with fellow Afghan veterans, including those
who eventually ended up with Jemaah Islamiyah.

Istiada said they left Ma­guin­danao with a certain Rushida,
supposedly the third wife of Janjalani, in the early part of 2005 and
took a circuitous route to Sulu's Luuk municipality, a fourth-class
borough and considered a territory of the MILF's rival, the Moro
National Liberation Front (MNLF).

Istiada said the MNLF disapproved their stay in the area so they
transferred to Patikul on the other side of the island. Patikul is
among the remaining strongholds of the Abu Sayyaf.

Istiada is in military custody. Bacarro assures that she and the
children are being treated well. Ordinary folk like us may not believe
it, but many in the intelligence community agree that treating
captives well and with respect tend to yield more results compared
with intimidating or torturing them. Let's continue to treat her well,
then.

Security stepped up in Philippines after deadly bomb attacks

Tony Ninok

MAKILALA, Philippines, October 11 (AFP) -- A powerful bomb exploded
outside a commercial building in the southern Philippines Wednesday as
the country went on security alert after two earlier explosions killed
12, police and military said.

The attacks on the restive southern island of Mindanao came amid
warnings from security experts that the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) and Abu
Sayyaf militant groups were plotting attacks in retaliation for
Manila's continued support of the US "war on terror".

In the latest attack a bomb made from a mortar shell rigged to a
mobile phone exploded outside a commercial building in Cotabato city.
There were no injuries but the blast caused extensive damage to the
building and cars parked outside.

"This is a terrorist attack aimed to kill," Cotabato city police chief
Peraco Macacua told AFP.

On Tuesday, 12 people were killed and at least 42 wounded in a bomb
blast in Makilala in North Cotabato province during a celebration to
mark the town's 52nd anniversary.

The attack followed an earlier bombing in the busy market of Tacurong
city, just 50 kilometers (31 miles) from Makilala, which wounded four
people.

Anticipating more attacks, the police and military forces were placed
on heightened alert in the south and in Manila.

Military chief General Hermogenes Esperon said the main suspects were
the Abu Sayyaf, a local Muslim extremist group known for past
bombings, and the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI).

"This may be in retaliation because we support the worldwide coalition
against terrorism," he said.

It may also be intended to divert the military's attention from its
pursuit of two JI bomb-makers, Dulmatin and Umar Patek, who are being
protected by the Abu Sayyaf on the southern island of Jolo, he added.

Dulmatin and Patek are wanted for the 2002 bombings on the Indonesian
resort island of Bali that killed more than 200 people, mostly foreign
tourists.

In new clashes Wednesday in Jolo two soldiers were killed and eight
wounded in a fire fight with Abu Sayyaf rebels.

The US and Australian governments issued warnings to citizens to
restrict travel to Mindanao amid intelligence reports that more
attacks would be carried out in the region.

In Makilala, grieving and dazed relatives gathered at the cordoned-off
blast site Wednesday as ordnance experts scoured the area for
evidence.

A second bomb, which failed to go off, was recovered near the
municipal hall Wednesday. Its trigger mechanism, a cellular phone,
apparently malfunctioned, police said.

"The government will make sure that the perpetrators are hunted down
and brought to justice," presidential spokesman Ignacio Bunye said in
Manila.

Local military chief Colonel Ruperto Pabustan said the bomb blast may
also be in revenge for the arrest of Dulmatin's wife, Istiada H. Oemar
Sovie, last week.

"This is the signature of terrorist groups like JI and Abu Sayyaf," he
said, citing similarities to past bombings in the area.

Sovie is being held by military intelligence, and under questioning
had told them that her husband would fight to the death.

She also said attacks would be carried out against key targets in the
south, where she said JI operatives were also training with the
separatist Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).

The 12,000-strong MILF has signed a truce with Manila, but has
recently warned of fresh hostilities after an impasse in peace talks.
It has also denied persistent reports of having links with JI.

"We deny having a hand in the latest attack," MILF spokesman Eid
Kabalu told AFP. "While there is an impasse in talks, the truce is
still holding."

Police says more terror attacks in S. Philippines

Glenn Omanio

MANILA, October 11 (Kyodo News) -- Big cities and densely populated
areas in the southern Philippines braced Wednesday for more terror
attacks after a series of bomb explosions believed to be handiwork of
al-Qaida-linked militants rocked the region, killing at least six
people and wounding 29 others, police said.

Police and military in the jittery southern region of Mindanao Island,
home to a decades-old Muslim insurgency, have been placed in
full-alert as several towns will hold various festivities expected to
attract huge crowds in the next few days, security officials said.

Police forces were beefed up in four neighboring cities of General
Santos, Tacurong, Kidapawan and Koronadal, as well as other densely
populated towns in the region, said police regional deputy director
Rolando Dalangin.

Dalangin said the police presence is ''heavily felt'' in Kidapawan
City located in North Cotabato Province as people celebrate a fruit
festival Wednesday, and in southern Zamboanga City where an annual
religious festival is expected to kick off with a big parade Thursday.

A homemade bomb exploded late Tuesday in front of the town hall of
Makilala in North Cotabato Province as townspeople were celebrating a
fiesta, killing six people and injuring scores of others, provincial
police chief Federico Dulay said.

Early Wednesday, authorities dismantled an improvised explosive found
inside the town hall of Makilala, preventing what could have been
another explosion, while another bomb went off shortly before noon in
a southern city of Cotabato Province but caused no injuries, police
said.

Four people were also wounded earlier Tuesday when a bomb placed
inside a shopping bag exploded after a guard hurled it away,
preventing more casualties, in a public market in Tacurong City
located in Sultan Kudarat Province, around 50 kilometers west of
Makilala, police said.

President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, a staunch U.S. ally in the war on
terror, condemned the bombings and vowed Wednesday to ''make sure the
perpetrators are hunted down and brought to justice.''

No group has claimed responsibility for the explosions and Arroyo
instructed security officials to work closely with the Moro Islamic
Liberation Front, the country's largest Muslim secessionist group, to
identify and arrest the bombers.

The Muslim rebels, who are engaged in peace talks with the government,
denied any involvement but police in southern Mindanao said some
guerrilla members may be cooperating with militants.

''We believe that this is an act of terrorism. We condemn these acts
and the military and police will really pinpoint the perpetrators,''
military spokesman Lt. Col Bartolome Bacarro said at a press briefing.

Philippine National Police chief Oscar Calderon referred to the
explosions as ''sympathetic attacks'' in retaliation for the arrest of
the wife of Dulmatin, an Indonesian militant and member of Jemaah
Islamiah who is wanted in connection with the 2002 Bali bombings.

The woman, Istiada Binti Oemar Sovie, confirmed to police the presence
in Mindanao of Dulmatin, who has a $10 million bounty on his head from
the United States, and another Indonesian suspect.

The two are believed to be hiding among Philippine militants on Jolo
Island, also in southern Mindanao, together with three other
Indonesian militants who are teaching bomb-making techniques to the
insurgents of Abu Sayyaf, the smallest and most violent of four Muslim
rebel groups in the Philippines.

Bomb experts have been trying to establish links behind the series of
blasts, but initial reports said the explosives were made from an
81-millimeter mortar shell and were detonated using a mobile phone,
which Bacarro said a ''possible JI signature.''

Dulay said the use of mobile phones to detonate the explosion bore
striking semblance to the practice of Jemaah Islamiah, which seeks to
carve out an Islamic state comprised of predominantly Muslim areas of
Southeast Asia.

The U.S., Australian and British embassies have cited ''credible''
intelligence that the threat of imminent attacks is high across the
Philippines and warned their citizens against travel in the southern
part of the country and places like malls and transport terminals
frequented by foreigners.

New Philippines fighting kills two soldiers: general

ZAMBOANGA, Philippines, October 11 (AFP) -- Two soldiers were killed
and eight wounded in a firefight Wednesday with Muslim militants
blamed for a string of bombings in the southern Philippines, a
military general said.

General Hermogenes Esperon said the fighting erupted in a mountainous
area on the southern island of Jolo, where troops backed by US
intelligence are hunting suspected Islamic militants.

He said there were two confirmed military deaths and eight wounded.

"Our troops moved forward this morning and hit one Abu Sayyaf group,"
Esperon said, referring to a militant body believed to be protecting
two men wanted for the 2002 Bali bombings in Indonesia, which killed
202 people.

The men, Dulmatin and Umar Patek, are from the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI)
militant group.

Esperon said reports on the ground indicated the Abu Sayyaf had
sustained casualties during the firefight, although no bodies had been
recovered.

The fresh fighting comes amid a security alert in the country
following three separate bombings Tuesday and Wednesday in which 12
were killed and over 40 injured in Mindanao island.

The bombings may have been designed to ease the military pressure in
Jolo, where some 5,000 soldiers are involved in the hunt for the JI
and Abu Sayyaf, which has previously carried out bomb attacks in the
Philippines.

"We will not let up in our hunt," Esperon said.

"We think they are trying to divert our operations so we will ease up
in Jolo but we will not ease up," he added.

The Abu Sayyaf and the JI are on the US government's list of foreign
terrorist organizations. They have both been linked to the Al-Qaeda
network.

Washington has offered up to 11 million dollars for the capture of
Dulmatin and Patek, who slipped into the southern Philippines from
Indonesia in 2003.

Philippine military braces for post-Ramadan attacks

Military intelligence believe the Abu Sayyaf and the Indonesia-based
Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) plan to bomb key targets in Metro Manila and
other urban centres nationwide at the end of the Islamic holy month of
Ramadan.

Quoting intelligence reports, anti-terrorism sources told The STAR
yesterday the terrorists have already pinpointed their targets.

"Intelligence report showed that these terrorists are planning to
carry out simultaneous bombing activities after Ramadan," a source
said.

However, the source refused to divulge details about the planned terror 
attack.

Another source said yesterday's bomb explosion in Tacurong City in
Sultan Kudarat was just a "dry-run" for wider and bigger attacks in
the month ahead.

The terrorists intend to bomb crowded places in Isulan, the capital
town of Sultan Kuradat, in Kidapawan, the capital town of North
Cotabato and in General Santos City, the source added.

The source said Isulan will be bombed by renegade members of the Moro
Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), who had trained under the Jemaah
Islamiyah in bomb making and demolition in Mt. Cararao.

The Tacurong bombing that left two women wounded was undertaken by
MILF renegades headed by Usman Basit, the source added.

Meanwhile, troops sent to hunt down Abu Sayyaf and JI terrorists
holding out in the jungles of Sulu have killed two terrorists.

Maj. Eugene Batara, Western Mindanao Command (Wesmincom) spokesman,
said Army Scout Rangers seized three rounds of ammunition for
shoulder-fired 57RR (recoilless rockets), a 40mm ammunition and two
sacks of rice in the terrorist hideout Mt. Tunggol in Patikul town.

"The Rangers are trying to defeat the terrorists in tactics and
manoeuvres with superior capability," he said.
