PALU, CENTRAL SULAWESI - The chief of the National Counter-Terrorism Agency (BNPT), Ansyaad Mbai, said terrorists were seeking to break the military- police unity to weaken the power of law enforcers.
After closing an anti-terrorism exercise here on Saturday Mbai said that terrorists had stated that their only enemy was Polri (police) or Densus 88 (police anti-terrorist unit) and asked the military (TNI) to stay away.
He said "terrorists are the enemy of the state and so they cannot be dealt with by one institution." He said what they said was only a tactic to break the state`s power. In view of that he hoped all institutions including Polri, TNI and the government would unity to eradicate terrorism in the country.
In the past week BNPT has staged a an anti-terrorism joint exercise in Palu attended by hundreds of TNI and Polri members to increase coordination and capabilities. The exercise included fight in an open field, defusing explosives, releasing hostages, handling victims and onlookers in an anti-terrorist operation.
Code-named "Latin III" the exercise was the first held outside Java. Sulawesi has been considered vulnerable to terrorism such as in Poso district and Makassar city. Mbai hoped through the exercise forces could get a clearer picture of various aspects in terrorism fight for finding the best method to deal with it.
