JAKARTA, Sept. 19 (Xinhua) -- Indonesian national police has suggested nations in Southeast Asia set up a joint force which will carry out a cyber-patrol in an effort to prevent spread of radicalism and extremism in the region.
Deputy Chief of Indonesian National Police Commissioner General Syafruddin disclosed on Tuesday that he had delivered the proposal at the 11st ASEAN ministerial meeting on transnational crime in the Philippines, scheduled from Monday to Thursday.
The deputy chief said that the joint force will immediately detect terrorist's activity in the cyber world.
"We (have to) set up cooperation on surveillance and monitor the activities of cells of terrorists," Syafruddin said in a statement.
Terrorists, including the IS members, have intensively used Internet for their communication and supporting their other activities, particularly in plotting suicide strikes or in spreading extremism.
In Indonesia, suicide bombers have used Internet for communication and supporting their deadly missions, police said.
