Umar Patek. Photo: Reuters UMAR Patek, the last of the accused Bali bombers to face trial, was ushered into a West Jakarta court amid tight security yesterday. Alighting from a heavy-duty armoured vehicle, a gaunt-looking Patek declined to comment as he arrived. The accused bomb-maker faces charges including premeditated murder over the 2002 Bali bombings that killed 202 people, including 88 Australians. While the trials of other high-profile Islamists usually draw a crowd of chanting extremist supporters, Patek's arrival was noticeably low key. ''Patek is not a figure like [Jemaah Islamiyah's spiritual leader] Abu Bakar Bashir and there hasn't been anything controversial about his case,'' says Gregory Fealy, an associate professor at the Australian National University, a specialist in Islamist movements in Indonesia. ''Besides, he had been out of the country for almost 10 years,'' Professor Fealy says. Patek's close friend, Ali Fauzi, who spent time with him in the Hudaibiyah camp in the southern Philippines in the mid-1990s, says descriptions of Patek as a influential figure have been exaggerated. ''Patek is not a leader and he doesn't have followers. In reality he is someone who is always ordered to do something,'' Mr Fauzi said. He said Patek disagreed with the Bali bombings. ''He said the bombings did not bring any benefit to both JI and the public because Indonesia is not in a war zone [such as Pakistan or Afghanistan],'' Mr Fauzi said. Indonesian counter-terrorism forces have successfully cracked down on militant Islamist groups such as JI and several key figures have been killed in police raids in recent years. Analysts believe the most significant terror threats in Indonesia today are from small groups of Islamists that form and disappear rapidly. These splinter groups are thought to be behind suicide bombings in churches and mosques in the past two years. Indonesian terror analyst Noor Huda Ismail says 45-year-old Patek still commands considerable respect among JI networks. ''Patek managed to stay in Indonesia for a year after the Bali bombing without getting caught,'' he says. ''There was a $US1 million bounty on his head, but that was still not enough. No one reported him.'' The trial is expected to hear from up to 86 witnesses in the next four months.
