Jakarta. The Indonesian Military (TNI) is not at all impressed by threats made by a man claiming to be an Islamic State fighter, to come and free convicted terrorists from the maximum security prison on Nusakambangan island, off Central Java. "It's not a problem, let's wait for them. It's even better if they do come and not just spew some threats," TNI chief Gen. Moeldoko said on Tuesday, as quoted by Detik.com. "Let them come and we'll take them all out, no problem.

It has been reported that a video posted on YouTube video contained threats to break convicted terrorists Abu Bakar Bashir and Aman Abdurrahman out of prison. 

Authorities believe the man in the video could be the Indonesian-born IS militant named Abu Jandal, who previously appeared in a YouTube video uploaded in December, airing threats to the TNI and the National Police’s counterterrorism unit Densus 88. 
Police say they are taking the latest video — titled “Salim News alias Abu Jandal” — seriously and have started an investigation, involving also Densus 88 and the National Counterterrorism Agency (BNPT). 
The video was viewed more than 5,000 times before it was removed.

Moeldoko said the military was primarily focusing on preventing the Islamic State ideology from gaining a foothold in the archipelago. However, he stressed, his forces would stand firm in the face of any concrete threat. 
"Such ideology cannot be allowed to spread in Indonesia," Moeldoko said. "I have seen clearly how the ideology can spread in unstable countries.
