Patek alias Abu Syeikh or Umar Arab, escaped from Indonesia in 2003, the U.S. government has put one million U.S. dollars bounty on his head. He has also been included in the United Nations' consolidated list. He was captured by the Pakistani security authorities in January after a decade of escape, since then the Indonesian police, which had been tracking Patek for years, have been negotiating with the government of Pakistan for bringing back one of the most wanted Islamic militants in South-East Asia.
