Bomber’s apology to Bali families

The militant accused of building bombs for the 2002 Bali nightclub attacks which killed 202 people apologised yesterday for the first time to the victims and their families.

Umar Patek, a member of the al-Qaeda-linked Jemaah Islamiyah told his trial in Jakarta: “I helped mix some of the chemicals in the explosives. Why didn’t I inform police?”
