- Title
Change, Continuity and Trajectories: Assessing Southeast Asian Terrorists’ Attack Tactics and Trends Post-Bali Bombings.
- Authors
Yeo, Kenneth; Rahmah, Unaesah
- Abstract
Since the 2002 Bali bombings, Southeast Asian militants’ tactics have experienced both transformation and continuity. Militant groups have used bombs to inflict heavy casualties and firearms to defend territory. At the same time, stabbings have also become more prevalent. In recent years, the increased diversification of terrorist tactics, illustrated by women and children’s involvement in suicide bombings in the Philippines and Indonesia, has accrued to factors such as intensified counterterrorism operations, the availability of weapons suppliers and tradecraft manuals online, and the influence of Al-Qaeda (AQ) and Islamic State (IS) Central. Going forward, terrorists will continuously adapt their modus operandi amidst evolving operational environments.
