Pakistan's Foreign Ministry has confirmed the arrest of a man believed to be the main Indonesian suspect in the 2002 nightclub bombing in Bali that killed 202 people.
Spokeswoman Tehmina Janjua told reporters Thursday that Indonesian consular officials will be allowed to visit the man to determine if he is indeed Umar Patek. She did not provide further details.
Pakistani security officials have said a CIA tip-off led to the arrest of Patek in Pakistan. They said he is being questioned and will eventually be given to the Indonesians. They spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
The arrest of Patek, who has a $1 million American price tag on his head, ends a 10-year international manhunt.
