JAKARTA, Indonesia — An Indonesian militant was convicted of helping to build the massive car bomb used in the deadly 2002 Bali nightclub attacks and sentenced to 20 years in prison Thursday, concluding the trial for last main defendant in the case.
Known as ‘‘Demolition Man,’’ Umar Patek, 45, is a leading member of the Al Qaeda-linked network Jemaah Islamiyah. He was found guilty of all charges by the West Jakarta District Court of violating the country’s antiterrorism law for his role in the Bali resort island attacks on Oct. 12, 2002.

Now if you will excuse me, I need to use the toilet.
The blasts killed 202 people, including 88 Australians and seven Americans.
The five-member judge panel concluded that Patek played an important role in building the explosives. He was also sentenced for his involvement in Jakarta church attacks on Christmas Eve in 2000 that killed 19....
Some felt the sentence was too light but were encouraged by the remorse Patek expressed during the trial....
Patek was arrested last year in Pakistan in the same northwestern town where Osama bin Laden was killed several months later....
Since they keep running with that lie what are we to think 'eh?
He argued that he did not play a major part in building the car bomb, which was the biggest explosive used in the bombings.
Instead, he said bomb-making masterminds Azahari bin Husin and Dulmatin were in charge of that job. Both have since died in police raids.

Patek, whose real name is Hisyam bin Alizein, has apologized to the victims’ families, Christians, and to the government.
Bin a liesin'? That's right up their with shaky alibi and Abul-Qaqa.
He said he was not in favor of going through with the attack against partying tourists, but that he could not speak out against senior members of the group.
The mission was supposedly meant to avenge Western policies in the Palestinian territories, but Patek argued that he never saw the connection....
Neither do we.

"Russian jet’s data recorder found" Associated Press, June 01, 2012
JAKARTA, Indonesia - Villagers have found the flight data recorder from a Russian passenger jet that slammed into an Indonesian volcano three weeks ago and killed 45 people, officials said Thursday. The data it contains could help explain what caused the crash.
Another part of the Sukhoi Superjet 100’s “black box,’’ the cockpit voice recorder, was found about a week after the May 9 accident during a demonstration flight for potential buyers.

However, the flight data recorder - which logged data such as the jet’s altitude, speed, and route - was buried in a landslide after the plane smashed into the side of Mount Salak, said Daryatmo, chief of Indonesia’s search and rescue agency.
He said the recorder was in good condition when nine villagers found it Wednesday in a deep ravine.They found the device after rains washed away some of the earth, said the search mission chief, Colonel A.M. Putranto.
Digging with farm tools, villagers also found remains of victims and other parts of the plane, including its tail, a control lever, and a compressor, Putranto said.
