From 'Sky News': People on the holiday island of Bali are hoping that there will be no reaction to the execution of three of the 'Bali night club bombers'. The bombers, Amrozi, Mukhlas and Imam Samudra, were executed by firing squad at tea-time on Saturday.
The attack in 2002 shocked the world. Two hundred and two people died, including a hundred and sixty foreigners, of which eighty eight were Australian and twenty eight British. Susanna Miller from the UK Bali bombing Victims' Group says that the executions will only serve to give more publicity to the extremists. These men were not the master bombers just peripheral associates and their deaths will allow them to become martyrs.

From 'The Jakarta Post': The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) confirmed 2.40 a.m. on Sunday that the death penalty of three Bali bombers, Amrozi, Ali Gufron or Mukhlas and Imam Samudra, had been carried out. “They were executed by a firing squad ... at 0.15 a.m.,” AGO spokesperson Jasman Pandjaitan told reporters in a press conference in Jakarta. Jasman said that an autopsy had also been carried out to confirm the death of the terrorists and that the corpses had been bathed according to the Sharia Law by a family member. Amrozi’s younger brother, Ali Fauzi, was allowed a last-minute entry to the Nusakambangan island to be in charge of the bathing process. Earlier on Thursday the Cilacap Prosecutor's Office said that it had assigned nine local Ulemas to witness the execution. Jasman added that more details would be made public later on Sunday.
