Deputy Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs\nLodewijk F. Paulus has said Indonesia is entering its fourth year of\n\u201czero attack\u201d in terms of terrorist acts.<\/p>\n
Lodewijk also urged the entire public to maintain national vigilance\nso that the zero attack condition, or the absence of violent terrorist\nattacks in a given area over a certain period, can continue to be\nupheld.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet us continue to maintain national vigilance against acts of\nterrorism. Alhamdulillah, this zero attack has now entered its fourth\nyear. This is what we continue to safeguard,\u201d he said at the 2026\nInternational Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism\nevent in Jakarta on Friday.<\/p>\n
Acts of terrorism and violent extremism, he said, are not merely\ncrimes against individuals; they are crimes against humanity that tear\napart the public\u2019s sense of security.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe do not want any more victims as a result of the criminal act of\nterrorism. The BNPT, the Witness and Victim Protection Agency, and other\nlaw enforcement officials cannot work alone. Public involvement is\nneeded so that, as I said earlier, acts of terrorism need to be\nsuppressed to remain at zero attack,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Head of BNPT Commissioner General Pol. Eddy Hartono added\nthat Indonesia\u2019s four years of being spared from terrorist incidents\nwere thanks to the synergy and collaboration of all parties, starting\nfrom intelligence elements and law enforcement officials.<\/p>\n
He revealed that over the past four years, 28 planned terrorist\nattacks in Indonesia were successfully prevented by the authorities.<\/p>\n
This prevention, he said, is in accordance with the mandate of Law\nNumber 5 of 2018, which stipulates that preparatory acts (of terrorism)\nalready fall within the realm of criminal law.<\/p>\n
Based on the guidelines of that law, mitigation can therefore be\ncarried out from the outset.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause under Law Number 5 of 2018, preparatory acts already fall\nwithin the realm of criminal law, so mitigation can be carried out from\nthe very beginning,\u201d Eddy said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/indonesia-enters-fourth-year-of-zero-terror-attacks-urges-continued-vigilance-1787320573", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
