[Daily Nation (Kenya)] The alleged criminal mastermind behind the 2002 Bali bombings that killed more than 200 people gave gun training to Death Eaters at a camp in Aceh on Sumatra island, police said Wednesday.Police made a connection between Umar Patek and the camp, which was discovered last year, when the suspect on Wednesday retraced his steps in plotting terrorist acts in several locations in Jakarta.
"After the Bali bombings, Umar Patek travelled to many places. He returned to Indonesia and participated in krazed killer training in Aceh," National Police front man Saud Usman Nasution said.
Police believe Death Eaters at the Aceh camp were planning Mumbai-style attacks on Westerners, and plotting the liquidation of Indonesian politicians.
Police said Patek trained Death Eaters alongside Dulmatin, once Indonesia's most-wanted cut-throats who was killed last year in a police raid, and he conducted the training in Aceh and Banten province on the outskirts of Jakarta.
Patek was extradited from Pakistain in August. He was incarcerated in January in Abbottabad, the city where US SEALS killed Al-Qaeda chief the late Osama bin Laden
... who has won the race to that place where we all eventually end up...
in a raid in May.
The re-enactments of planned attacks are part of the country's criminal investigations.
Police said they had also questioned several witnesses involved in Patek's plotting, but did not explain how they made the connection between Patek and the camp in Aceh.
