Almost immediately after the terrorist attack, the Indonesian police stated that the terrorist attack at the Kampung Melayu station was carried out against police officers and called on all police officers to increase their vigilance over this terrorist attack. Indonesia’s terrorist attacks in Indonesia are not uncommon. According to the Center for Strategic Studies of the Indonesian Police (Lemkapi), over the past two years, four terrorist attacks have been carried out against police officers.
In the next few hours after the terrorist attack, representatives of the Indonesian police stated that they had made an identification of the type of explosive device used in the terrorist attack at the Kampung Melayu stop. It was collected in a saucepan, and the composition of the explosive device was almost identical to the explosive device that was activated in Manchester 22 in May 2017. The police also stated that they had found a receipt for the purchase of a saucepan in the pocket of a suicide bomber’s clothes; damaged by an explosion, and the police believe that this check can be proof of the purchase of the pan that was used to make the explosive device and carry out the attack. According to the director of the Institute for Political Analysis of Conflicts (IPAC), Sydney Jones, the components for an explosive device used by terrorists in Indonesia during terrorist attacks are simple, and earlier in magazines published by the Al-Qaida terrorist group (banned in the Russian Federation ) was published popular among terrorists article "How to make an explosive device in my mother's kitchen." The article was very popular, as the components were easy to get in regular stores.
In addition, the police also said that the explosive devices used in the double terrorist attack in Kampung Melayu are similar to those used by the terrorist in Bandung in February 2017. The terrorist who was liquidated in Bandung in February 2017 was a member of the terrorist The Jemaah Ansuharut Daula group, previously arrested during a raid by security forces in the province of Aceh in 2011, when a terrorist training camp was discovered.
Initially, the police refused to disclose the name of the terrorist group behind the Kampung Melayu terrorist attack. There were allegations from the police that “a terrorist attack with the participation of suicide bombers in Kampung Melaya is linked to an IG terrorist group”, and “investigators are studying the identity of the terrorists and the possible connection between the terrorist attack in Kampug Melaya and international terrorist groups”. A little later, the Indonesian police stated that the terrorists who carried out the terrorist attack at the Kampung Melayu stop were part of a terrorist group that swore allegiance to the IG (prohibited in the Russian Federation), and also that they were connected to a terrorist from Bandung and a terrorist network uncovered in Purvakarta County. At the moment, the police announced the name of the terrorist group behind the terrorist attack in Kampung Melayu, “Jemaa Ansuharut Daula” (JAD). This terrorist group, in particular, is responsible for the attack on a police post in Tuban district, East Java and on a police station in Banyumas district, Central Java, which were carried out in April 2017.
Among the collected evidence on the site of the terrorist attack in Kampung Melayu, Indonesian police found a book with a cipher. According to police, the written could not be read except for a few words, one of them was the word “alcatraz”. In addition to words, there are also numbers in the book.
The anti-terrorist unit of Densus 88 and the mobile brigades of the police in West Java searched the house of one of the terrorists in the city of Bandung. During the search, the wife and children of the terrorist were in the house, who were taken to the police station to testify. Also, the Densus 88 Anti-Terrorism Division arrested three alleged terrorists who are allegedly related to the terrorist attack in Kampung Melayu, and also carried out searches in their homes, which are located in Bandung and in West Bandung County, West Java Province.
The head of the Indonesian presidential administration, Teten Masduki, said that the state would bear all the costs of treating the injured and burying the dead victims of the attack. Indonesian President Joko Widodo expressed his condolences to the victims and victims of the terrorist attack in Kampung Melayu and urged the society to remain united and not to panic. “Be united, calm and keep cool. The Ummah is now preparing for a month of fasting, which will come in a few days, ”said the president. The President also ordered the head of the Indonesian Police, General Tito Karnavian, to eliminate all the terrorists who are involved in the organization of the terrorist attack in Kampung Melayu. "I have already ordered the head of the Indonesian police to hunt down and destroy the terrorist organization that did it. I ordered to pursue them to the last," said the president.
The head of Indonesian police, General Tito Karnavian, had to interrupt a series of visits to a number of countries in the Middle East and return to Indonesia before the planned schedule. "Visits to Turkey and Saudi Arabia have been canceled. Yesterday, a visit to Iran took place. Today, they will return to Jakarta," said Indonesian Police, Public Affairs Division, Network Vasisto 26 in May 2017.
Representatives of various confessions in Indonesia condemned the terrorist attack and offered their condolences to the dead.
Thus, the Council of Ulama Indonesia (MUI) condemned the double terrorist attack at the Kampung Melayu stop and described it as a barbaric act that is far from religious values. "No matter who these terrorists are, they are people who have lost all human values. This is truly a very cruel and woeful human tragedy," said Zainut Tauhid, deputy chief chairman of the Ulama Indonesia. According to Zaynut, the terrorist attack proves that the positions of terrorism in Indonesia are still very strong and all parties, including law enforcement agencies, representatives of the clergy and the public, should pay serious attention to this.
The chief chairman of the Executive Council, Nahdatul Ulama (PBNU), Sail Akil Siroj, commenting on the last terrorist attack, said that Indonesia had become the most reliable refuge in the world for the fugitive terrorists from the IS. "The IG is crushed by the EU, the US. To flee to Indonesia is the safest, most advantageous, easy for them," said Said Akil Siroj. He urged everyone to be vigilant about the presence of IS terrorists in Indonesia. “Let's hope there are not many of them, but we have to be vigilant, since these are just our hopes. They have already reached the Philippines,” said Said Akil.
Opinions of the police, politicians and experts in the assessment of what is happening are divided.
So, Seto Vasisto said that the terrorist attack in Kampung Melayu is part of a series of terrorist attacks that are now occurring all over the world.
“There were terrorist attacks in Manchester, Great Britain [...]. We also heard that in the neighboring country in the Philippines, the IS attacked the city of Maravi. In my opinion, this is part of a series of terrorist attacks taking place all over the world,” said Seto Vasisto.
Seto admitted that the police had information about the impending terrorist act in Indonesia, but “did not know when and where it would be carried out”. He also stressed that the Indonesian police “did not blink” the attack.
Terrorist Specialist Taufik Andri said that the terrorist attack in Kampung Melayu is revenge on the Indonesian security forces.
“We need to remember that their goal was the police who served near the bus stop,” said Taufik. He explained that the attack was revenge for the arrests and the elimination of police terrorists. Although the suicide bomber is related to the IS, Taufik said that there is a high probability that “there were no teams directly from the IG in Syria.” “The terrorist groups in Indonesia in the last 2-3 of the year act independently. Besides, there is not a very good relationship between terrorists in Indonesia and terrorists in Syria, "he said." In addition, there is a fatwa released in 2015, which talks about how important it is for IS supporters to carry out terrorist attacks on the ground. " .
Director of the IPAC Institute, Sydney Jones, said that in her opinion, the attack in Jakarta is not directly related to the terrorist attacks in Manchester and Maravi, because planning a terrorist attack in a day or two is very difficult. In her opinion, perhaps the latest terrorist attacks in Britain, Indonesia and the Philippines were planned just before the month of Ramadan. She recalled that last May, on the eve of the month of Ramadan, the IG speaker called on IG supporters to carry out terrorist acts by any means and anywhere, while the terrorists did not have to go to Syria, but it could be done in their countries.
According to Sydney Jones, terrorist groups in Indonesia are rather weakened as a result of the actions of the police, but this attack can be a kind of PR action, which suggests that there are still terrorists in Indonesia. Sydney Jones said the police knew that the terrorists were planning a terrorist attack, because the alleged members of Jemaa Ansuharut Daula and the terrorist network of the most famous terrorist of Indonesian origin in IG in Syria, Bahrum Naima, are being actively monitored, but the police were very hard to predict where and when exactly the attack will be carried out, and, in her opinion, Indonesia is much better able to cope with the threat of terrorism than other Southeast Asian countries, such as Thailand and the Philippines.
She cannot say how strong the positions of “Jemaa Anzuharut Daula” and other terrorist groups are now, but she is confident that there are cells of terrorist organizations in all of Indonesia. According to Sydney Jones, the situation that has now developed in the city of Maravi in the Philippines should be a wake-up call for Indonesia, since over the past 18 months, facts of the departure of Indonesian terrorists to Mindanao to carry out terrorist activities have been identified weapons and combat training. She also said that there is information about the presence of terrorists from Indonesia in the Mauth group, which is responsible for the attack on the city of Marawi.
Speaking about the likelihood of new terrorist attacks in Indonesia, she recognized that the threat of terrorism in Indonesia is high, while there are terrorists in Syria who act as curators of the terrorist attacks in Indonesia, while there are terrorists such as Bahrum Hiring who give orders to conduct terrorist attacks social networks, while there are hundreds of deported Indonesians from Turkey who wanted to get to Syria through Turkey, but were arrested by the Turkish government. According to Sydney Jones, in Indonesia there are all prerequisites for new terrorist acts.
A somewhat different point of view regarding the current situation is held by the Vice-Chairman of the I Commission of the Council of People’s Representatives, TB Hasanuddin, who asked the Indonesian government to be prepared to withstand the consequences of the policies of the Government of the Philippines, which imposed martial law on Mindanao. According to him, the terrorist attack in Kampung Melayu is directly related to the imposition of martial law on Mindanao.
"The imposition of martial law on the island of Mindanao by the President of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, should be taken into account by the Government of Indonesia," said Hasanuddin TB. He believes that the IG terrorists in the Philippines have a close relationship with the terrorists in Indonesia, so it will be easy for them to get into Indonesia, and this is becoming more and more likely because the positions of terrorists in the Philippines are crushing the Philippine security forces. "The data on the Philippine IG's connection with the terrorists in Indonesia can be traced back to the example of 3 Indonesian citizens, supporters of the IG, who were eliminated by the Philippine military in Mindanao in April of 2017 g," he said.
TB Hasanuddin urged the government to take 4 measures to prevent terrorist acts by the IG in Indonesia.
1) Border guards should tighten controls on foreigners who come to Indonesia, as well as on Indonesians who return to Indonesia.
2) Intelligence should actively cooperate with regional administrations within the framework of control over the territories of the provinces, especially those that can become shelters for terrorists and places of organizations of IG training camps.
3) Force structures should actively monitor and prevent the spread of chemical elements that can be used to make explosive devices.
4) Indonesian President Joko Widodo must give orders to all intelligence personnel to conduct a special operation to track down and arrest terrorists associated with the terrorist attack in Kampung Melayu.
