Reportedly, Kuwaiti citizen Omar Al-Farouq played a part in the Bali bomb plot. http://www.abc.net.au/am/content/2005/s1282108.htm
Al-Farouq was arrested in Bogor on June 5, 2002 and handed over to US authorities.
Former Indonesian State Intelligence Coordinating Board (BAKIN) chief A.C. Manulang was quoted by Tempo as saying that Al-Farouq is a CIA-recruited agent. http://aangirfan.blogspot.com/2005/03/bali-bomb-and-military.html
If Al-Farouk was working for the CIA, then surely he would be allowed to escape.
Washington Post, "Pentagon: Top al-Qaida Operative Escaped", 1 November 2005.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/01/AR2005110101423.html
FORT BLISS, Texas -- A man once considered a top al-Qaida operative escaped from a U.S.-run detention facility in Afghanistan and cannot testify against the soldier who allegedly mistreated him, a defense lawyer involved in a prison abuse case said Tuesday. Omar al-Farouq was one of Osama bin Laden's top lieutenants in Southeast Asia until Indonesian authorities captured him in the summer of 2002 and turned him over to the United States. A Pentagon official in Washington confirmed Tuesday evening that al-Farouq escaped from a U.S. detention facility in Bagram, Afghanistan, on July 10. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information. An Army lawyer for Sgt. Alan J. Driver, a reservist accused of abusing Bagram detainees, asked Tuesday where al-Farouq was and what the Army had done to find him in time for Driver's court proceedings. Capt. John B. Parker, a prosecutor, said al-Farouq and three others escaped from the Bagram detention center and have not been found.
