[1] A female assailant trespassed the Istana Negara security layer and attempted to shoot the President and/or Presidential Guard using an FN HP-DA Pistol.
[2] President of Indonesia Joko Widodo was not in the Istana Negara at the time of attack as he was visiting East Kalimantan and Nusantara.
[6] Despite the affiliation, further investigation revealed that the attacker is a lone wolf but inspired by Hizb ut-Tahrir Indonesia and Darul Islam teachings.
[11] Ridlwan Habib, a University of Indonesia lecturer and terrorist observer, speculated that the assailant is an ISIS-affiliated lone wolf due to similarity of the tactic used by ISIS to attack state authority and use of women as agents.
[18] Her husband has worked as employee of a private service bureau, while her extended family, including her older and younger brothers were mariners.
[19] She often organized closed majlis ta'lim (religious discussion and Qur'an recitation groups) in her house every night of Saturday inviting outsiders and not cooperated with local residents.
[32] Later, the National Counter Terrorism Agency announced that the assailant is a Hizb ut-Tahrir Indonesia member, which was already dissolved by Indonesian government back in 2017.
[39] It was revealed that her family financial state was hit severely due to COVID-19 pandemic, and she relied to the government's assistance aid payment.
Based on Detachment 88 investigation, the weapon that was used in the failed attack was legally owned and registered under the assailant's uncle who was a retired officer for the Indonesian National Armed Forces.
[46] Owing to the reportedly broken and mentally unstable state of the assailant, Detachment 88 issued recommendation to forensic psychologist and psychiatrist for investigation.
[49][50] Moeldoko, Head of the Executive Office of the President of the Republic of Indonesia, praised the readiness and awareness of the Paspampres and National Police.
[52] Ridlwan Habib asked the security apparatuses to increase their readiness and awareness due to the incident happening 20 days before the opening of the upcoming 2022 G20 Bali summit on 15–16 November 2022.
[55] Ishfah Abidal Azis, special staff of the Minister of Religious Affairs, commented that the attack may not happened if the individual learned religion from the reputable teachers, scholars, books, and sources.
