Terrorist ideology which allows violence to achieve one`s goals has the potential to develop in 2010 although a number of top terrorists have been arrested or killed, police said.
Chief of the National Police Headquarters` Detachment-88 Anti-Terror Unit, Senior Commissioner Tito Karnavian, said on Tuesday the ideology would continue to develop in 2010.<>
He said the threat of terrorist attacks had admittedly been reduced since the killing of Noordin M Top and his lieutenants but it did not mean that the threat of terrorism receded. This is because their ideology still exists among the people.
This ideology could gain further support and strength both at home and abroad. Local conflicts with religious nuances such an in Poso and Ambon could serve as a factor from inside the country.
"If a group of Muslims felt it was oppressed, it would create an impetus to the revival of this ideology," Tito Karnavian said.
Malaysia`s top terrorist Dr Azhari was killed in a police raid in Kota Batu, East Java in 2005 while his top aide Malaysia`s Noordin M Top was slain in Solo, Central Java, a few months ago. In the meantime, Noordin`s successor, Syaifudin Zuhri, was also shot dead in Ciputat, Tangerang, near Jakarta last October. (ant)
