three men on death row for the Bali bombings will be executed by firing squad at the end of the month, according to the Denpasar prosecutors office. Lawyers for Imam Samudra, 36, Amrozi bin Nurhasyim, 43, and Ali Ghufron, alias Mukhlas, 46, had not lodged expected appeal documents, clearing the way for execution. Bali's Denpost newspaper quoted officials as saying time had run out for the men convicted over the 2002 truck bomb blasts at the Sari Club and Paddy's Bar.
"We waited, but they have not been lodged," the paper quoted an unidentified official in the prosecutor's office as saying about the three men's appeals.
"It seems that by the end of July – to be exact July 30 – the execution will be done.
"We are just awaiting the orders of the attorney-general's office."
Indonesian Attorney-General Abdul Rahman Saleh has ruled the three, who have refused asking for presidential clemency, will be executed on the remote prison island of Nusakambangan off southern Java, dubbed "Indonesia's Alkatraz".
