President Widodo calls for Indonesian military to play bigger role in counter-terrorism

Indonesian President Joko Widodo has asked for the Indonesian military (TNI) to be given a wider role in the country's fight against terrorism.

"Give TNI authority in the (anti-terrorism) law,” he said at a Cabinet meeting at the Presidential Palace in Bogor, West Java on Monday (May 29). “The Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs has already given his reasons to prepare for this."

On Sunday, the security minister Wiranto had given assurance that the military would not misuse the authority given to them.

The wider role of the TNI in the proposed revision to Indonesia's anti-terrorism laws had stoked concerns among human rights groups that the military might abuse its powers.

Wiranto said there are other security apparatus that will monitor the military in their counter-terrorism efforts. "The consideration not to allow TNI to confront terrorism is not a wise decision," he said to online news portal detik.com.

A special committee is currently debating the proposed changes to anti-terrorism laws and there have been calls for them to complete their work soon, following last week's twin bombings in East Jakarta.

The amendments include granting the military the power to act on terror threats against foreign embassies and missions, as well as to take action against militant cells hiding out in jungles or mountainous areas in Indonesia.

Widodo stressed that terrorism has no place in Indonesia and urged that the anti-terrorism laws be completed soon.

"The Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (has been asked) to complete this as soon as possible, because we really need this - the legal framework to facilitate and strengthen our security apparatus to take action on the ground," he said.

Widodo also instructed the National Counter-Terrorism Agency (BNPT) to continue developing preventive programmes in schools, places of worship, in prisons and via social media to fight against radical ideology in the country.

“Hunting terrorists in the woods is a breeze for us”: TNI

The Army chief of staff Gen. Mulyono welcomed President Joko “Widodo” Widodo’s call to involve the Indonesian Military (TNI) in the country’s war against terrorism, saying that the military would be ready to hunt down terrorists.

“Most importantly, the TNI is ready to be involved in any situation,” he said at the Army headquarters in Central Jakarta on Tuesday as reported by kompas.com.

Jokowi said on Monday that the TNI could be granted a role in the revision of 2003 Terrorism Law to help the National Police prevent any terrorism following the bomb attacks in Kampung Melayu, East Jakarta, last week.

Mulyono did not give details on the roles that the TNI wanted mentioned in the law. However, he stressed that the TNI’s involvement was needed in counterterrorism efforts. Once involved, the TNI was ready to hunt down terrorists in forests or in any remote areas.

“[We will hunt them] wherever they are, like in the forests. It’s refreshing for military personnel to have duties in the forest,” he said.

TNI personnel had been involved as back-ups in the police's large Operation Tinombala, organized to hunt down the notorious East Indonesia Mujahidin (MIT) terrorist group lead by Santoso in Poso, Central Sulawesi. The operation managed to kill Santoso last year and narrowed the number and movement of the terrorist group members who had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State movement.

The authority for detention and investigation in counterterrorism efforts currently lies with the National Police. (rin)
