The East Indonesia Mujahideen (Indonesian: Mujahidin Indonesia Timur; abbreviated MIT) was an Islamist militant group operating out of Poso, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. The group was led by Abu Wardah (also known as Santoso) until he was killed by Indonesian police on 18 July 2016.[8] After the death of Santoso, the group was led by Ali Kalora until he was killed on 18 September 2021.[9] The group has pledged allegiance to the Islamic State.[8]
MIT was proscribed by the United Nations Security Council under the Al-Qaeda Sanctions Committee on 29 September 2015.[10] The U.S. Department of State has designated MIT as a terrorist organisation.[11]
MIT has largely carried out its operations within Sulawesi but has threatened to attack targets across Indonesia.[12] The group's operations have typically avoided operations that would cause civilian casualties, but was reportedly involved in clashes between Muslims and Christians in Maluku province between 1999 and 2002.[13]
