History
Katibah Nusantara was formally launched on 26 September 2014, headquartered in Al-Shaddadi, in the Syrian province of Hasakah. Its training ground is located in Poso, Indonesia. In early April 2015, the unit achieved its first major combat success by capturing five Kurd-held territories in Syria, speculating that the unit's main area of operations was still in Syria, before the 2016 Jakarta attacks.
Leadership
The unit's first known Amir, or leader, is Abu Ibrahim al-Indunisiy. Currently, it is unknown whether he is still leader, but it is alleged that either Bahrun Naim, mastermind of the 2016 Jakarta attacks, or Bahrum Syah has taken over leadership.[2][3][4][5][6][7]
