Indonesian national Umar Patek had a $1 million bounty on his head when he was captured in the Pakistani town of Abbottabad Jan. 25, four months before Osama bin Laden was killed there in a U.S. commando attack.
The 41-year-old Patek allegedly built the bombs used in the suicide attacks on Bali nightclubs packed with foreign tourists. Many of the victims were Australians.
Anti-Terrorism Agency chief Ansyaad Mbai told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Patek would be returned to Indonesia before Aug. 30 to stand trial.
