Indonesian Military Chief Gen. Djoko Santoso said Saturday that global and regional terrorists were on the move, posing a threat to Indonesia.

"Admittedly, the threat of terrorism looms in this country," he said, as quoted by Antara news agency, in Blitar, East Java.

Santoso said the threats the country faced were in the form of both physical and nonphysical violence, such as telephone threats.

"Terrorism has hit Mumbai and Thailand. We personally have assessed the threats and seek to eradicate it at the roots so as to ride out its challenges," said the former Army chief of staff.

The Indonesian Military has been working together with the police in the capital as well as in regions fighting corruption, he "We also need the help of the public in supporting our efforts to combat terrorism in Indonesia," Santoso said. (amr)

Well its should be said that anyone who wants Sharia law is a terrorist because they will launch a holy war until they get it...
Close all religious schools or monitor them to see if they spread hate.
