Terrorism has again dominated headlines in Indonesia over recent months. On 22 February 2010, police raided a terrorist training camp in the mountains of Aceh, leading to the deaths of three mobile brigade officers and one terrorist. Over the next three weeks another seven terrorists were shot dead by police and 40 others have been arrested in Aceh, Jakarta and Banten, on the western tip of Java. The most prominent of those killed was Dulmatin, whom police suspect was leading the network supporting the Aceh terrorist cell.
