Jakarta (B2B) - Menteri Koordinator Politik Hukum dan Keamanan (Menko Polhukam) Djoko Suyanto mengakui jika motif aksi terorisme di Indonesia telah berubah, karena tidak lagi terkait kasus-kasus asing atau luar negeri.
"Tindakan-tindakan terorisme tidak akan pernah berhenti nyatanya seperti itu. Hanya sekarang modusnya berbeda, dulu modusnya jelas asing yang berbau barat, yang berbau musuh Palestina. Tapi sekarang bergeser," katanya menjelang Upacara Hari Ulang Tahun Kemerdekaan Republik Indonesia ke-68.
Djoko menilai penangkapan rekan-rekan pelaku aksi terorisme oleh polisi dapat mendasari aksi penembakan sejumlah polisi oleh kelompok teror itu.
Menko Polhukam mengatakan bahwa pihaknya telah berkoordinasi dengan Kapolri Jenderal Polisi Timur Pradopo untuk meningkatkan kewaspadaan aparat penegak hukum.
"Yang kedua ya dikejar. Pelaku tindak kejahatan seperti ini tidak boleh dibiarkan. Satu-satunya cara harus dikejar sampai ketemu," ujarnya.
Jakarta (B2B) - Chief Security Minister Djoko Suyanto has claimed the motives behind terrorism in Indonesia have changed and are no longer related to issues exclusively affecting foreign lands.
"Acts of terrorism will never completely stop. That is a fact. However, their motives have changed. Previously, the motives behind such acts were related to foreign issues or were linked to Palestine`s enemies, but they have now changed," he stated before attending a ceremony at the presidential palace here on Saturday to commemorate the country`s 68th anniversary of its independence.
His remarks were made in the wake of a third attack on local law enforcement personnel in Pondok Aren, Tangerang, by two unidentified gunmen, who launched the assault on Friday night, claiming the lives of two police officers.
Speaking on the incidents, Djoko pointed out that he was already coordinating with National Police Chief General Timur Pradopo, whom he had asked to improve vigilance and to hunt down the attackers.
"Perpetrators of crimes such as this cannot be ignored. They must be caught," he insisted.
