Bali bombing suspect extradited to Indonesia

None

A key suspect in the 2002 Bali bombings that killed 202 people was escorted home to Indonesia under tight security to stand trial Thursday, six months after he was captured in the same northwestern Pakistani town where Osama bin Laden was killed.

 

Umar Patek, an al-Qaida-linked Indonesian militant, had a $1 million bounty on his head when authorities caught up with him on Jan. 25 in Abbottabad just a few miles from where U.S. commandos killed al-Qaeda chief bin Laden in a raid four months later.
