Briefs (source: dailyasianage.com)   Jacob Zenn In 2019, the Indonesian government decided it would release Jemaah Islamiya founder Abubakar Baasyir from prison earlier than initially scheduled. He had been tried in 2011 and sentenced to 15 years in prison for setting up an “al-Qaeda in Aceh” training camp that Indonesia’s counter-terrorism special operations unit, Densus-88, raided and dismantled (Terrorism Monitor, April 7, 2011). Notwithstanding Baasyir’s imprisonment, some camp members, including most notably Santoso, leader of the East Indonesian Mujahideen and known most popularly by the singular name, continued on the jihadist path. Santoso relocated to Poso, Sulawesi, conducted several terrorist attacks, and eventually pledged loyalty to Islamic State (Jakarta Post, April 1, 2016). However, Santoso, the most wanted terrorist in the county at the time, was killed by Indonesian security shortly after the pledge in 2016 (straitstimes.com, July 19, 2016).
