It cannot be denied that the development of terrorist networks in Indonesia has begun to expand to the corners of the region scattered throughout Indonesia. Riau is a region that is also included as one of the targets and hideouts for Indonesian terrorist network perpetrators. This is because Riau is directly adjacent to two countries which have the potential to become an area and target for terrorist operations, as Riau is the entry point for world trade in the region. In the last six years, namely, from 2016 to 2021, there was an act of terrorism in Riau each year, which started with radicalism and then manifested by acts of terror.
