 Terrorism in Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia has frequently had episodes of political violence which have either been explicitly or closely linked to ‘terrorism’.
It is clear, however, that there has been significant terrorist activities in the past decade, that Al Qaeda has been involved in some of these, and that a major threat continues, as the Bali bombings have tragically illustrated.
This E-Brief discusses factors facilitating terrorist groups in Southeast Asia, the activities of Al Qaeda in Southeast Asia, and outlines key groups involved.

It was believed that an independent Singapore would quickly come under communist control and that Singapore would then be used as a springboard to subvert western interests in Malaya, Indonesia and elsewhere in Southeast Asia.
