3 Philippine military intelligence operatives killed in ambush; Indonesian terror group may covertly move to Syria

And many more in this latest weekly Southeast Asia counter/terrorism roundup.

The three Filipino soldiers were traveling in a sport utility vehicle along a highway when gunmen opened fire. Pictured are Filipino soldiers during a training demonstration. (Philippine Army file pic for general illustration).

Happy New Year!

This latest Southeast Asia terrorism roundup has a lot of items related to the recent Christmas and New Year’s celebrations.

Also, please take note that most Indonesia terrorism-related news are in the national language, not in English.

Therefore, the great thing about my weekly wraps ups — allow me to brag a bit ;-) — is that if you follow the Indonesian terrorism issue, you may miss a lot of things; but worry not, my weekly roundups have you covered!

Apart from Indonesia, there’s also news links out of the Philippines, Malaysia and other countries in this list, and they’re all in English.

So, here’s the latest compilation of headlines and links from the last week of 2024 exclusively for paid subscribers.
