Secular trends : Indonesia after the Bali bombers - 2008

The bombings killed 202 people mostly tourists in Bali in 2002. The bombers members of Jemaah Islamiah (JI) a south-East Asian affiliate of al-Qaeda bragged of relishing martyrdom. With the help of FBI and its Australian counterpart it created two specialist anti terror units. One is a low profile intelligence gathering operation and the other detachment 88 a muscular police unit that swoops on suspected members of violent groups. Terrorism analysts also say the police must keep a close watch on localised sectarian conflicts.
