Umar Patek, a bomb-maker for militant group Jemaah Islamiah. Photo: Reuters AN INDONESIAN terrorism suspect known as ''Demolition Man'' for his expertise with explosives allegedly told interrogators he used household items, including a rice ladle and a kitchen scale, to build the huge bomb that ripped apart Bali nightclubs in 2002. Umar Patek stashed the 700-kilogram bomb in four filing cabinets installed in a van along with a vest bomb, according to documents detailing his interrogation. The explosives ripped apart two nightclubs on October 12, 2002, killing 202 people, including 88 Australians. Patek goes on trial tomorrow for his alleged role in the Bali bombings and other acts of terrorism following a nine-year flight from justice. The 45-year-old Indonesian was finally caught in January 2011 in the same Pakistani town where US Navy Seals would kill Osama bin Laden just a few months later. Patek was hiding out in a second-floor room of a house in Abbottabad when Pakistani security forces, acting on a tip from the CIA, burst in. After a firefight that left him wounded, he was captured and extradited to Indonesia. His capture was seen as a yardstick of the successes that Asian security forces have achieved against Jemaah Islamiyah, the al-Qaeda-linked regional terror group blamed for the Bali bombings and several other attacks in Indonesia. All its other leaders have been executed, killed by security forces, or are on death row. Patek is charged with premeditated murder, hiding information about terrorism, illegal possession of explosives and conspiracy to commit terrorism, and now faces a possible death sentence as well. The indictment also accuses him of providing explosives for a string of Christmas Eve attacks on churches in 2000 that claimed 19 lives. After his arrest, Patek told his interrogators he learnt to make bombs during a 1991-1994 stint at a militant academy in Pakistan's Sadda province, and later in Turkhom, Afghanistan. The Bali bomb was made using common household tools, he said, including a rice ladle and a small weighing machine commonly used in kitchens or grocery stores. It took more than a month to build the bomb. Just before midnight on October 12, 2002, the terrorists drove the van carrying the explosives to Bali's Kuta district and detonated the explosives. Patek had left Bali a few days earlier. Officials said he and Dulmatin, a fellow militant who was gunned down by Indonesian police in March 2010, went to the Philippines and allegedly joined with local extremist group Abu Sayyaf, spending the next several years training militants and plotting attacks, including against US troops in the Philippines. Meanwhile, three of the masterminds of the Bali attacks - Imam Samudra, and brothers Amrozi Nurhasyim and Ali Ghufron - were tried and executed. Patek returned to Indonesia in June 2009, but he was determined to go to Afghanistan to fight alongside the Taliban, said Indonesia's anti-terrorism chief, Ansyaad Mbai. Patek was in Pakistan for two months before a courier with links to al-Qaeda took him to Abbottabad, possibly to meet bin Laden. But before he could make much progress or meet bin Laden, he was caught.
