Terrorism has become a worldwide concern since the events of September 11, 2001, in the United States, in addition to the Bali bombings in Indonesia in 2002 and the bombings at Davao City airport in 2003. The broad impact of terrorism has caused Indonesia and the regional countries of Southeast Asia to feel very interested in actively participating in solving this problem. Forums for discussion and cooperation in the fight against terrorism have also arisen in the Southeast Asian region, such as the ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on Transnational Crime (AMMTC), which is a meeting forum within ASEAN to discuss issues of transnational crime.
