Hisyam bin Ali Zein,[1] also known as Umar Patek (born 1970)[2] is an Indonesian convicted terrorist and member of Jemaah Islamiyah who was wanted in the United States, Australia, and Indonesia on terrorism charges. There was a US$1 million reward offered by the Rewards For Justice Program for information leading to his capture.[3]

In June 2012, Patek was convicted for his involvement in the 2002 bombings in Bali, Indonesia, which killed 202 people, and injured 209 others.[4][5] On 7 December 2022, Patek was released from prison.[6]
