Radical groups targeting campus environment to mobilise new terrorist candidates: Indonesia's spy chief

The latest statistics from a study by Indonesia's state intelligence agency BIN not only confirm the rise of religious conservative ideas in the country, but also show that radical groups have infiltrated its institutes of higher education, said spy chief Budi Gunawan on Saturday (April 28).
