Dulmatin (6 June 1970 – 9 March 2010) was a senior figure in the militant group Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) and one of the most wanted terrorists in Southeast Asia. He was also known as Amar Usmanan, Joko Pitoyo, Joko Pitono, Abdul Matin, Pitono, Muktarmar, Djoko, and Noval. He had a nickname "Genius". Dulmatin was a Javanese with 172 cm tall, weighing 70 kg, with a brown complexion.
According
to the Jakarta Globe when he was a young man he attended a religious
boarding school run by the founder of the Jemaah Islamiyah, Abu Bakar Bashir.
Dulmatin
had received training in al-Qaeda camps in
Afghanistan. He was believed to have been the protégé of Azahari Husin and
under Azahari's guidance Dulmatin became an electronics specialist and bomb
making expert. He participated in the car bomb attack on the Philippine
ambassador in Jakarta on 1 August 2000 and assembled the timers for the 38
Christmas 2000 church bombings in Indonesia which killed 19 people. He was one
of the masterminds behind the 2002 Bali bombings in Indonesia which killed 202
people, including 27 from the United Kingdom and 88 Australian citizens .
Working alongside Azahari, Dulmatin helped to assemble car bomb and explosive
vests used in the attack. He allegedly set off one of the bombs with a mobile
phone.
He
was believed to be with the Abu Sayyaf group
in the Philippines since 2003 and was involved in providing explosive expertise
and training other militants. From radio intercept and human intelligence,
authorities believe that Dulmatin was wounded in a gun battle with the
Philippines military in January 2007, on the southern island of Jolo. In May 2007,
Dulmatin again eluded capture when he fled from a safe house in Simunul island
just hours before Philippine police and military forces raided the location.
The authorities found 4 children believed to be Dulmatin's children.
The
United States government offered a reward of up to US$10 million for the
capture of Dulmatin under the Rewards For Justice Program.
At
the beginning of 2010 Dulmatin began training a group of militants in the foothills
of Jalin, just south of Banda Aceh in Indonesia in an attempt to build a 'nerve
centre for Southeast Asian terrorism' under the name 'Al-Qaeda of the Verandah
of Mecca.' The group was quickly wiped out, beginning with police raids on 22
February 2010, when many were killed or arrested, and followed up with
intelligence from locals and ex-rebels who banded against the non-Acehnese
militants.
Dulmatin
was killed in a police raid in Pamulang, Jakarta on 9 March 2010 on the
outskirts of Jakarta by Detachment 88,
Indonesia's special counter-terrorism unit.
