Rounding up Terrorists at Year's End

Dawn was breaking when four men gathered in front of the security post of the Taman Harapan Baru housing complex in Bekasi on Wednesday two weeks ago. The four mostly remained silent, absorbed in their cell phones. Their eyes were alert, scrutinizing passing cars. Now and again, they glanced east toward the complex's exit gate that led to the main road. There, too, several men were observing incoming and outgoing cars.

A security officer, Dalman, had the chance to ask, "Anything I can do for you, Mas?"
