Terrorism and the ISIS threat in Indonesia

Venue: Yasuko Hiraoka Myer Room, Level 1, Sidney Myer Asia Centre

Hundreds of Indonesians have left for the battlefields of Syria and Iraq since the emergence of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syam (ISIS) in 2013. Dozens of terror plots and attacks within Indonesia over this period have also been linked to ISIS and its supporters. In this Asia Institute public lecture, Solahudin, a leading expert on terrorism, will outline the appeal of ISIS to jihadis in Indonesia and analyse its impact on the domestic terror threat. In view of the fact that ISIS has divided the Indonesian jihadi community, Solahudin will also discuss whether anti-ISIS Indonesian jihadis also pose a threat to security.
