FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
He was extradited to Indonesia after being arrested in January 2011 in the
Pakistani town of Abbottabad, where US commandos later killed Al-Qaeda chief
Osama bin Laden.
His trial at the West Jakarta district court opened amid tight security, with
police saying they had deployed specialist anti-terrorism and anti-mob units
across the capital.
The courtroom was packed with about 30 spectators – many of them Australian
reporters – seated on two rows of benches.
Patek, seated on a chair facing a panel of five judges, was flanked on his
left by his lawyers and on his right by prosecutors.
He arrived at the court in a police armoured vehicle, escorted by armed police
commandos.
Wearing a white Muslim skull cap, white pants, white shirt and an orange
prison shirt, he smiled broadly to reporters before entering a holding cell
inside the court building.
He gave two-thumbs up with his handcuffed hands, but did not say anything.
Indonesian Defence Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro said previously there was
information that Patek had been trying to meet bin Laden in Abbottabad
before his arrest, but this has not been confirmed.
The trial at the West Jakarta district court is expected to last over four
months as prosecutors present evidence from 86 witnesses.
They will testify to Patek’s decade-long involvement in terror, prosecutor
Bambang Suharyadi told AFP.
“We will track his activities, from the church attacks in 2000 and Bali
attacks in 2002 to his roles in the militant training camp in Aceh (on
Sumatra island),” he said.
“He hid information about the camp and harboured terrorists like Dulmatin,”
the prosecutor said, referring to the figure who was Indonesia’s most-wanted
man until he was killed in a 2010 police raid.
According to a copy of the indictment obtained by AFP, Patek will be charged
with premeditated murder and assembling bombs for the October 2002 Bali
nightclub attacks, which killed 202 people including 88 Australians, and
strikes on churches in Jakarta on Christmas Eve of 2000.
Patek allegedly used simple household tools including a rice ladle to assemble
the bombs, which were housed in ordinary filing cabinets, according to
Suharyadi and details contained in the indictment.
“The defendant filled up the black powder in four filing cabinets, in the
meantime, Dulmatin made the bomb’s electronic circuit,” the document said.
