Umar Patek went to meet bin Laden: Indonesia
[Dawn] Indonesia says its most wanted terrorist suspect was in Pakistain to meet the late Osama bin Laden... who used to be but now ain't... when he was placed in durance vile there early this year. Umar Patek was placed in durance vile in January in Abbottabad, the garrison town where bin Laden was killed by US forces this week. Patek is suspected in the 2002 Bali bombings that killed 202 people. He is deputy commander of al-Qaeda's Southeast Asian affiliate Jemaah Islamiyah. Defense Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro said Wednesday that Patek was in Pakistain with his Filipino wife to meet with bin Laden. Authorities have said they traveled to Pakistain using passports with false names. Indonesian Sherlocks are trying to bring Patek back to the country. Posted by: Fred 2011-05-05 |
