The Islamic State group's recruitment numbers in Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim
nation, have tripled in the last few months to at least five hundred, the nation's
counterterrorism chief said.

Saud Usman Nasution also said Monday that about half the recruits who have gone to
fight in Syria and Iraq for the group, also known as ISIS, had been living in nearby
countries as students or migrant workers.

"In June 2014, the number of ISIS followers embarking from Indonesia was 86. The
number soared to two hundred fifty in October," Saud said on the sidelines of a recent
meeting of Nahdlatul Ulama, the nation's largest Muslim organization, the Straits
Times reported.

Since June, when ISIS rose to significant power, Indonesia has been closely monitoring
its recruitment efforts. The state intelligence agency has been keeping tabs on
recruitment by monitoring those who have a record of terrorism activities.
According to reports from Al Monitor in October, Indonesia's capacity to follow and
control ISIS supporters is limited because of its weak law enforcement.
A report published by the Institute for Policy Analysis of Conflict (IPAC) in September
said the development of ISIS support began in an online chat room that was run by the
founder of Al-Muhajiroun, //a terrorist organization based in the U.K. in 2005. The
founder of that chat room began organizing events across Indonesian cities to convince
people there to pledge allegiance to ISIS.
One recommendation to the new government: Strengthen the capacity of the prisons
and the immigration service to monitor potential troublemakers but keep

counterterrorism securely in the hands of the police," Sidney Jones, IPAC's director,
said in the report. "Even in the face of an enhanced threat, it would only muddy the
waters to try and carve out a larger role for the military.
