The Australian government has sought for assurances from the Indonesian government that the bomb maker of the 2002 Bali terrorist attacks will be subject to continued supervision after he was released on parole on Dec. 7.
In 2012, Umar Patek was sentenced to 20 years in jail after he was found guilty of being the bomb maker for Indonesian-based Islamic extremist group Jemaah Islamiyah, which were behind the attacks.
