Three men to be executed by firing squad after bombings six years ago left more than 200 dead
The three men who carried out the Bali bombings six years ago that left more than 200 people dead will be executed next month, Indonesian prosecutors said today.
Imam Samudra, Amrozi Nurhasyim and Ali Ghufron had "exhausted their legal options", Jasman Panjaitan, a spokesman for Indonesia's attorney general, told reporters.
The announcement is politically sensitive as the government has been nervous that a confirmed execution will arouse some public sympathy for the trio. But the country's vice-president, Jusuf Kalla, told reporters after Muslim prayers that the government did not have "any hesitations" about the death sentences for Indonesia's worst terrorist attack.
They will be executed by a firing squad in the island prison where they are being held. No exact date was given.
