Terrorists change target, modus: Police chief

Indonesian National Police chief General Bambang Hendarso Danuri said today that the terrorist network in Indonesia has changed its target and modus operandi. “They are aiming at particular parties such as the National Police, the Indonesian Military and other law enforcement personnel,” Bambang said as quoted by Antara news agency. Previously, terrorists mainly attacked Westerners or parties with opposing ideologies. Meanwhile in terms of their modus, terrorists have been said to be changing from their previous bombing methods to using firing weapons, he added. The paramilitary training activities also show that terrorists have further developed their violent patterns. This just goes to prove how adaptive the terrorists are as individuals and how their organizations are learning organizations and this helps them to adjust to law enforcement and counter terror operations.
