Denpasar (Antara Bali) - Around 800 terrorists have been apprehended in Indonesia in the past ten years, according to police counter-terrorism agency Densus 88.

"They include those killed during arrests. Most of those caught have been judicially processed," head of prevention of Densus 88's de-radicalization sub-division, Police Commissioner Kurnia Wijaya said here on Thursday.

At a regional-level coordination meeting on prevention of terrorism Kurnia appealed to all parties and national components to increase their levels of alertness over terrorist and radical activities in the country.

The meeting was also held with regard to preparations for the establishment of a Communication Forum for Overcoming Terrorism (FKPT).

Kurnia said that alertness is important because some terrorists would be released from prison in the next three to four years.(IGT)
