| 2011-03-31 |
| A Pak security official said Wednesday that Umar Patek, an alleged criminal mastermind of the 2002 Bali bombing, has been nabbed by Pak security agencies. The official would not say when and where he was nabbed. "Yes it is confirmed we have nabbed him, he is in Pakistain," the official told AFP. Asked if he was linked to any bad turban group in Pakistain he said they were investigating. "Right now he is being interrogated," the official, speaking on condition of anonymity, ... for fear of being murdered... said. Indonesian security officials will be given access to him, he added. "The Indonesians want access to him and they are coming," he said. Patek, who has a $1million bounty on his head, was the alleged field coordinator for the attacks on night clubs on Bali, which placed mainly Mohammedan Indonesia on the front lines of the global battle against militancy. |
