An alleged mastermind of the 2002 Bali bombings that killed more than 200 people will be sent to Indonesia after being arrested in Pakistan in March, a senior counter terrorism official said Monday. "Pakistan has delivered a message early July that they will send Umar Patek to Indonesia," National Anti-Terror Agency (BNPT) deputy chief Tito Karnavian told reporters.
Jakarta's foreign and justice ministries are now working to process Patek's deportation, he said. Indonesian counter-terrorism police have been tracking Patek for years. One of the most wanted extremists in Southeast Asia, he has a $1 million bounty on his head under the US government's "Rewards for Justice" programme.
