(Jakarta, Indonesia) Well, it appears the previous promise that the Bali bombers would be executed before Ramadan was just some Balinese bureaucratic smoke. It has been obviated by some new and improved smoke.
Three Indonesian Islamists on death row over the 2002 Bali bombings which killed more than 200 people will be executed by the end of the year, a report said on Friday.Mukhlas promised retribution for the criminal act of executing holy warriors. Heh, up yours, Mukhlas. Remember to say your prayers.
No final date has been set for the execution but prosecutors have received key paperwork allowing it to go ahead, attorney general's office spokesman Jasman Panjaitan was quoted as saying by news website Detikcom.
Jemaah Islamiyah militants Amrozi, Mukhlas and Imam Samudra face a firing squad over the nightclub attacks on the resort island of Bali which killed 202 people, mainly foreign holidaymakers.
"It's not in writing yet when they will be executed, but what is certain is that it will be this year," Panjaitan said.
Prosecutors had earlier put plans to execute the bombers before the Muslim holy month of Ramadan -- which ended this week -- on hold, citing bureaucratic delays.
