Abu Zacharia, who was also known as Faharudin Hadji Satar, was killed during a pre-dawn raid in the south of the Philippines on June 14. Besides ISIS, he also had links to the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, which claims to be fighting for an independent Muslim nation in southern Philippines.
JI has been lying low as the Indonesian authorities have taken pre-emptive strikes against the group since 2019. But the group quietly continues to seed ground support for the establishment of an Islamic caliphate in the region, warned ISD. Highlighting the global nature of the terrorism threat, ISD said that online propaganda efforts may have also linked ISIS-affiliated elements in the Middle East to their South-east Asian supporters.and heightened tensions in the Middle East “have highlighted concerns that state actors and their proxies may also engage in terrorist modus operandi against their adversaries”, including in third-party countries, there is a risk Singapore interests may be caught in the crossfire, ISD said.
