Security authorities suspect a new group is aiming to carry out terror acts in Central Sulawesi, which was also the home of the notorious East Indonesia Mujahidin (MIT) terrorist group.

Indications of a new group were revealed recently when security personnel intercepted a man named Samsuriyadi, aka Sham. He told security officers that several men from Toboli in Parigi Moutong regency as well as Poso and Tolitoli regencies in Central Sulawesi, and Mamuju regency in West Sulawesi, had weapons that could be used to conduct terror attacks.

According to an intelligence report received by The Jakarta Post, the group has been mapping Central Sulawesi over the past month.

Central Sulawesi Police chief Brig. Gen. Rudy Sufahriadi refused to comment on the findings.

He confirmed, however, that Operation Tinombala Task Force members found an M-16 rifle at the bottom of the Puna River in Poso Pesisir. The weapon was believed to be owned by Basri, aka Bagong, one of the top members of the MIT group who surrendered last year.

Meanwhile, Merdeka Military Command commander Maj. Gen. Ganip Warsito said on Tuesday that the military had detected that several people from the southern Philippines had entered the province.

He did not provide details but said the military had heightened security as a precaution.

Poso is a hotbed of terrorist activity and last year hosted a large-scale joint police and military operation with more than 3,500 personnel under Operation Tinombala tasked with hunting for members of the MIT, lead by the late terrorist Santoso, aka Abu Wardah. (rin)

TNI Mulai Impor Helikopter



Karena PT DI Belum Bisa ProduksiHelikopter Agusta Westland (AW) 101 terparkir dengan dipasangi garis polisi di Hanggar Skadron Teknik 021 Pangkalan Udara Halim Perdanakusuma, Jakarta Timur, Kamis (9/2/2017). KASAU Marsekal TNI Hadi Tjahjanto telah membentuk tim investigasi untuk meneliti proses perencanaan, pengadaan dan menelisik pengiriman helikopter tersebut. [TRIBUNNEWS/ANTARA FOTO/Widodo S. Jusuf/Pool] ●

Anggota DPR Komisi VI Inas Nasrullah Zubir mengakui PT Dirgantara Indonesia (DI) saat ini hanya baru merakit saja, tanpa bisa memproduksi pesawat.

Karena hal itu panglima TNI Jendral Gatot Nurmantyo ingin segera membeli helikopter Black Hawk.

"PT DI Masih sampai bisa merakit saja. Selama menunggu mereka bisa produksi, TNI akhirnya mengimpor," ujar Inas dihubungi wartawan, Selasa (7/3/2017).

Menurut Inas, PT DI masih memiliki banyak kelemahan di dalam pengerjaan proyek pesawat dan helikopter. Hal itu yang harus dibenahi mengingat ada banyak kontrak perakitan yang terbengkalai oleh PT DI.

"Begini PT DI bagaimana memanage kontraknya lebih baik lagi," ungkap Inas.

Anggota fraksi Hanura itu pun menilai peralatan dan teknologi yang digunakan PT DI sudah ketinggalan zaman. Sedangkan tuntutan dari PT DI untuk merakit helikopter dan pesawat terlalu banyak.

"Sekarang peralatan PT DI banyak yang sudah tua itu yang membuat keterlambatan," kata Inas.

Inas berharap PT DI bisa segera melakukan revitalisasi perlengakapn perakitan di dalam negeri. Walaupun mahal, namun hal tersebut menurut Inas perlu dilakukan.

"Mungkin peralatan PT DI harus direvitalisasi karena banyak yang sudah tua, dan itu tidak murah," jelas Inas.

Sebelumnya diberitakan Panglima TNI Jenderal Gatot Nurmantuo telah bertemu Panglima Pasifik militer Amerika Serikat General Robert Brown.

Dalam pertemuan tersebut Panglima TNI mengapresiasi bantuan pemerintah AS dalam pembelian helikopter Black Hawk UH-60L, helikopter Apache AH-65, dan pesawat tempur F16.

That will do. In fact, PT.DI should just stay clear from pursuing any new procurement projects, and focusing their effort to complete their mounting backlog order.

International relations expert Yanyan M Yani said Tuesday that Indonesia needed to strengthen its cross-sector international cooperation as part of the effort to fight terrorism.

“Terrorism at the global level is not only based on religion, but also economic, political and socio-cultural reasons,” Yanyan, who is also a professor at the Bandung-based Padjadjaran University, said on Tuesday as quoted by Antara.

Yayan added that development of global and regional economies in the next three years would be centralized on partnerships initiated by China and the US, which should also be anticipated.

“Terrorists will use any method to carry out their agenda,” Yanyan said.

He added that Indonesia is now ranked 33rd in the global terrorism index while the United States is in 35th position, followed by France in 36th.

In Asia, Yayan said that Indonesia is in ninth position and reaching fourth position in South East Asia. Yayan, who is also an expert member of the National Counterterrorism Agency (BNPT), added that Indonesia is still not considered a safe country in terms of terrorist threats.

He said that the BNPT’s move to involve citizens in fighting terrorism by forming the Counterterrorism Coordination Forum (FKPT) was the right decision. (rdi/bbs)

Indonesia seeks stronger Indian Ocean ties

With eyes set on boosting trade and stepping up efforts in fighting terrorism, members of the Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA) kicked off a senior-level meeting over the weekend to set the wheels in motion ahead of its inaugural summit on Tuesday.

Senior officials from IORA’s 21 member countries gathered on Sunday at the Jakarta Convention Center in Central Jakarta to discuss details for three outcome documents under the theme of “strengthening maritime cooperation for a peaceful, stable and prosperous Indian Ocean.”

Since its establishment in 1997, IORA has not had a high-level summit and in the Jakarta meeting member countries are expected to sign the final IORA Concord, which the committee of senior officials has agreed to name the Jakarta Concord.

The Indonesian Foreign Ministry’s director general for AsiaPacific and African affairs, Desra Percaya, said the meeting had shown a “high-spirited atmosphere of cooperation.”

He said member countries had given various “explanations and proposals” that culminated in an agreement, some of which would be finalized in a ministerial-level meeting Monday.

“The IORA Concord, an initiative of Indonesia and a reflection of Indonesia’s leadership, has been approved and received support from all IORA member countries,” Desra told a press briefing following the meeting.

Desra declined to give further details from the meeting, saying that countries needed to negotiate sensitive issues at the ministerial level, such as maritime piracy.

The meeting has also finalized negotiations on the ministerial action plan for the next four years, which also includes talks on a free trade agreement for the coastal countries and island states located around the Indian Ocean.

As the third-largest oceanic division with around 2.7 billion people living around it, the Indian Ocean region is a key economic seaway with approximately one-third of the world’s cargo and 70 percent of oil and energy shipping passing through it each year.

For the first time since its inception in 1997, IORA will also expand its cooperation to include politics with member countries expecting to agree on a declaration to prevent and counter terrorism as well as violent extremism.

In its capacity as chair, Indonesia initiated the organization’s first summit to strengthen cooperation and the commitment of IORA member countries amid growing global challenges, including terrorism.

IORA secretary-general KV Bhagirath commended Indonesia’s initiative in convening the organization’s member states, as well as its seven dialogue partners for the landmark event, calling it a “game changer.”

“Indonesia has played the role of chair in an exceedingly pioneering manner by taking steps forward to strengthen regional cooperation in the Indian Ocean,” Bhagirath said in the press briefing.

IORA’s secretariat, he said, would oversee the implementation of projects and proposals in the anticipated action plan, one of the three outcome documents.

Bhagirath, who was also present at the establishment of IORA in Mauritius, expressed optimism at the organization’s future.

The Jakarta summit is expected to draw strong attendance with 16 leaders, including cochairs Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and South African President Jacob Zuma, having confirmed their attendance.

Earlier, Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno LP Marsudi said IORA’s priority areas were in line with President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo’s vision of the global maritime fulcrum, giving it a platform to realize the country’s ambitious maritime concept.

Indonesia is also seeking to explore untapped African markets via the regional organization. Earlier this year, Retno embarked on a trip to some African countries to seek trade ties.

Trade between Indonesia and IORA members was worth US$89.8 billion in 2016, with realized investment from the region amounting to 40 percent of total foreign investment in the country, or approximately $11.67 billion, according to government data.
