AGO: Bali bombers executed at 00.15

The Attorney General's Office (AGO) confirmed at 02:40 a.m. on Sunday that the death penalty for the three Bali bombers, Amrozi, Ali Gufron or Mukhlas and Imam Samudra, had been carried out.

"They were executed by a firing squad ... at 00:15 a.m.," AGO spokesperson Jasman Pandjaitan said at a press conference in Jakarta.

Jasman said autopsies had been carried out to confirm their deaths and the corpses had been bathed according to Sharia Law by a family member.

Amrozi's younger brother, Ali Fauzi, was allowed a last-minute entry to Nusakambangan Island to be in charge of the bathing process. Earlier on Thursday the Cilacap Prosecutor's Office said it had assigned nine local Ulemas to witness the execution.

Jasman added that more details would be made public later on Sunday. (and)
