Komando Jihad (English: Jihad Commando) was an Indonesian Islamic extremist group that existed from the 1970s until it was dissolved through the actions of the security services in the mid-1980s.[1] The group's foundation was an offshoot of Darul Islam, an extremist group fighting for an Indonesian Islamic state that began in the 1940s.[1] The group split from DI with the support of the Indonesian secret services, BAKIN. [2]
Damien Kingsbury has written allegation that the group was set up by Kopassus, the Indonesian Army special forces.[3] In 2020, Tempo Data and Analysis Center, released their investigation report after collecting the sources from that time, confirming part of the story was true, although the formation was actually much like inadvertent.[4]
