A family member of the convicted Bali bombers confirmed early Sunday that Amrozi, Ali Gufron and Imam Samudra had been executed.

Amrozi's elder brother, Khosin, told The Jakarta Post he had received news from his younger brother, Ali Fauzi, that the execution had been carried out at midnight.

Ali was granted a last-minute entry to Nusakambangan Island on Saturday to be in charge of bathing the corpses of the terrorists according to Sharia Law.

Khosin said the bodies of his brothers, Amrozi and Ali Gufron, would arrive at their home town in Tengulun village, Lamongan, East Java, within two hours.

Earlier the police had said that they had been preparing two helicopters to transport the corpses. The body of Imam Samudra will be delivered for burial to his family in Serang, Banten Province. (and)
