Islamic State eyes fertile recruiting ground along Southeast Asia smuggling route




By Rowan Scarborough - The Washington Times - Sunday, November 22, 2015
The Islamic State’s terrorist army is broadening its global reach to find recruits willing to come to its Syria-Iraq “caliphate” and wreak havoc.

An Army think tank report states that Southeast Asia, and especially Indonesia, is a routine stop for hundreds of smuggled terrorists. They travel a prescribed route to improve the chances of making it to the Syrian city of Raqqa, the Islamic State’s proclaimed capital.


Much is written on the terrorist group’s attractiveness to Muslims living in Europe, especially France, which suffered its second massacre this year at the hands of the Islamic State, also known as ISIL and ISIS.

Indonesia, with the world’s largest Muslim population at more than 205 million, is less noticed but fertile territory. One team of researchers in London has called Southeast Asia a “blind spot” for counting Islamic State recruits.

The Army’s Foreign Military Studies Office at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, reported this month that Indonesia is both a source of domestic recruits and foreign fighters who arrive on their way to Syria.

Press reports last year put the number of Indonesians going to fight in Syria at 50, with most presumed to be on the side of Islamic extremists such as the Islamic State.

The Foreign Military Studies Office puts the number now at about 500. Jakarta faces the same problem as Europe and possibly the U.S.: Fighters honed by the Islamic State in Syria will return to their home country to commit terrorism.

“At least 300-500 Indonesians have been in Syria training for battle, and there has been at least one case of a mall bombing in Jakarta that has ISIS trademarks associated with it,” said the military studies report. “Thus, the direct link is very clear that Islamic State’s presence in Indonesia is growing.”

“Indonesians arriving from fighting for ISIS abroad present a significant problem for domestic terrorism. Similar to foreigners fighting in Afghanistan, they have received requisite training to conduct domestic terrorist activities when they return home,” the report added.

The 500 is a small percentage of the Islamic State’s estimated strength of 30,000. But the terrorist group’s relentless social media broadcasts, as well as instant messaging on encrypted apps, have proved successful in increasing its stream of inductees.

The Foreign Military Studies Office report quotes Saud Usman Nasution, who heads Indonesia’s counterterrorism agency, as saying that nearby Malaysia is a collection point for terrorism recruits and may now be home to “thousands.”

Mr. Nasution told Malaysia’s English-language The Star Online that the Islamic State is working with smuggling networks to bring foreign fighters to Indonesia.

“So we need to stay vigilant, more so because there is information that in Malaysia, there are thousands, a lot of foreign terrorist fighters there who are about to be deployed — we don’t know where to — under the network,” he said.

Mr. Nasution said 76 Indonesians have returned from Syria and 52 died there, four of whom acted as suicide bombers.

The House Homeland Security Committee estimates that the Islamic State commands up to 30,000 fighters. About 250 Americans have left the U.S. to join the terrorist group.

There does not appear to be firm numbers on the Salafist Sunni militant group’s ethnic makeup.

But the Department of War Studies at King’s College in London studied the flow of terrorists, and puts the number of foreign fighters coming to Syria-Iraq at more than 20,000.

The department’s International Center for the Study of Radicalization and Political Violence says the recruits come from 50 countries. Southeast Asia, which includes Indonesia and Malaysia, is a “blind spot” — meaning the flow is difficult to calibrate, the center said in its most recent report written by director Peter R. Neumann.

Outside the Middle East, the largest influx of 4,000 recruits comes from Western Europe, a count double the center’s 2013 estimate. Saudi Arabia, a Sunni Muslim state, has up to 2,500 citizens fighting for the Islamic State.

France, which saw 130 innocents killed by Islamic State attackers Nov. 13, has provided the most, at 1,200. Britain and Germany — about 600 each.

“As with previous estimates, it should be stressed that counting foreign fighters is no exact science,” Mr. Neumann said.

300-500 Indonesians who is in Syria of course not all of them fighting for ISIS, so we should be careful on this.

Kerjasama Rudal C-705 China Indonesia

Kontrak ke 2 kerjasama rudal C-705 antara Indonesia dan China ditandatangani pada tahun 2013, melalui sebuah kerjasama karena kedekatan dan persahabatan dari kedua negara.

Adapun kontrak ke 3 dari kerjasama rudal C-705 ditandatangani pada akhir tahun 2014. Sebagai tindak lanjut dari kontrak tersebut, dikirimlah sejumlah rudal C-705 (sesuai kontak ke 3) untuk dilakukan tes uji penembakan oleh Indonesia pada tahun 2015. Persetujuan kredit segera disetujui dan L/C segera dibuka.

Indonesia pun menyiapkan segala kebutuhan untuk uji rudal C-705 tersebut. China akan menyiapkan program bagi prajurit TNI AL untuk melakukan training di China, setelah Indonesia menyetujui uji rudal yang dilakukan oleh pabrik yang bersangkutan.

China menyarankan TNI AL membeli kendaraan peluncur rudal anti-kapal permukaan C-705, untuk memudahkan operasional, perawatan dan perbaikan di kemudian hari.

Diskusi Program transefer teknologi (ToT) rudal C-705 mengemuka dalam pertemuan DICM ke 4 tanggal 27 Agustus 2015 di Beijing China. SASTIND China akan segera mempelajari perjanjian dasar terbaru dari Program Transfer Teknologi Rudal C-705, antara Kementerian Pertahanan RI dan SASTIND China, yang perjanjian itu diusulkan oleh Kementerian Pertahanan. China segera meresponnya.

Diskusi antara CPMIEC China dengan perwakilan PT DI menyangkut fasilitas Program ToT Rudal C-705 berlangsung di DICM ke 4, yang membahas: jumlah material dan jumlah rudal yang akan disiapkan.

Indonesia akan menyiapkan budget untuk kepentingan penyediaan material dan Final Assembly Line facilities dari rudal C-705 dan komponen rudal tersebut (SKD parts).

PT DI yang ditunjuk oleh KKIP sebagai pemimpin yang menggarap proyek ini, akan diberikan Transfer Teknologi oleh CPMIEC China, agar memiliki kemampuan memproduksi sistem rudal C-705.

PT DI akan menjadi supplier bagi Angkatan Laut Indonesia, setelah memiliki kemampuan memproduksi sisten rudal C-705.

Kedua pihak kemudian membuat list/ daftar urutan pekerjaan yang akan dilakukan PT DI seperti missile shock/overload test system, electric system pre-installation dan sebagainya.

PT DI menyatakan sanggup memenuhi dan melakukan sebagian besar list yang harus dikerjakan (ada 10 item). PT DI juga diminta berbagi ilmu pemassangan rudal dan teknik persiapannya kepada TNI AL.

PT DI meminta pendokumentasian Transfer Teknologi, dan ToT Technical Training dibebaskan dari biaya. Namun pihak China menyanggupi jika Indonesia setidaknya memesan 100 rudal C-705 (SKD missile) pada Phase I.

Local content terkait rudal ini akan disediakan oleh PT DI.

CPMIEC China meminta agar setidaknya dilakukan pembelian 50 rudal C-705 dalam bentuk SKD, untuk memulai transfer teknologi. Dan ToT technical documentation akan diberikan gratis pada ToT Phase I, jika Indonesia membeli 100 rudal dalam bentuk SKD. Formulasinya sedang dikaji oleh kedua pihak.

PT DI menyatakan akan mengkaji secara internal dan melaporkannya kepada Kementerian Pertahanan Indonesia.

Korea Aerospace Industries agrees KFX investment deal with Indonesia

Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) and the Indonesian government signed an agreement on 22 November to formalise proposed investment and workshare arrangements to support the development of the Korean Fighter Experimental (KFX) 4.5-generation fighter aircraft.

The agreement is framed by an accord signed by the governments of South Korea and Indonesia in October 2014 under which South Korea will pay 80% of the costs associated with the joint engineering and development phase of the KFX, with Indonesia paying the remaining 20%.

The newly signed deal, which in essence reaffirms Indonesia's investment in the project, will become operational once KAI formally secures the contract with South Korea's Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) to complete the development of KFX aircraft. KAI was named preferred developer of the KFX in March, and a contract to undertake the work is expected to be signed before the end of the year.

Under the terms of the newly announced agreement, Indonesia has agreed to invest about KRW1.7 trillion (USD1.5 billion) of the total KRW8.7 trillion in KFX development costs.

KAI said that in return for its investment, Indonesia's state-owned aerospace manufacturer, PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI), will participate in the design phase of the aircraft and produce unidentified components. PTDI will also secure rights to some areas of intellectual property involved in developing the KFX and have access to one of six planned prototypes.

KAI plans to commence manufacturing the KFX from 2025. Company officials have previously suggested that about 250 KFX fighter aircraft could replace the Republic of Korea Air Force's ageing F-4E Phantom and F-5E Tiger II aircraft and, ultimately, its F-16 Fighting Falcon platforms. KAI also expects to export several hundred KFX fighters to countries that include Indonesia.

The KFX is envisaged as a single-seat, twin-engine, multirole aircraft equipped with stealth features, active electronically scanned array radar, and internal weapons carriage.

Soldiers Seize Rifle in RI-PNG Borders
Zoom Out Zoom In Normal
TEMPO.CO, Jayapura-Indonesian soldiers stationed on the Papua New Guinea border have seized a rifle and 33 rounds of 5.56-mm ammunition from a resident.

"The rifle and tens of rounds of ammunition were confiscated when the 406/CK task force at the Bompay post, led by 1st Lt. Karno, conducted a raid on the street connecting Bompay village to Senggi village," said commander of the 406/CK infantry battalion Lt. Col, Aswin Kartawijaya, in a press statement released on Monday, November 23.

According to Col Kartawijaya, soldiers seized the rifle from Jefri while he was crossing the border, along with three people in a car.

"Based on the results of the investigation, the rifle is usually used to hunt animals in the forest," he said.

The seizure indicated that many residents living near the borders possess rifles, he said.

"For its part, we will continue conducting raids and patrols on the street connecting Bompay and Senggi villages. The rifle and rounds of ammunition and their suspected owner will be handed over to the chief of the 172/PWY military resort command as commander of the operation implementation command," he said.

He noted that his soldiers will continue conducting raids to create a safe situation along the borders.

Commander of the operations implementation command Col. Sugiyono praised the military personnel for their job well done.
