Indonesian authorities have stepped up monitoring of potential terror networks.
Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Hadi Tjahjanto said in a press conference on March 25 that the government was monitoring both groups and individuals who could stage similar attacks, including self-radicalised “lone wolves”.
His agency has been trying to detect and stomp out radical propaganda, and he called for more sharing of intelligence among different security agencies in Indonesia. Citing the Boston Marathon attack in 2013 that killed three people and injured more than 260 others, he said the attackers had used bombs made from pressure cookers with wires attached and connected to a mobile phone.
“Based on the movement of suspected terrorists in the field , we haven’t seen any real attack plan inspired by the Moscow attack,” he said.
