"Indonesian law bans public executions, so the obscenely grinning Bali bomber will be cheated of the chance for a farewell performance," reported the Sunday Telegraph. "A former Indonesian firing squad leader said Amrozi will receive only 72 hours notice of his execution. He won't see his executioners, though. Amrozi's head will be covered with a hood. He will wear a white shirt with a red target marked over the heart. After the shots are fired a doctor will check the riddled body for any sign of life. If Amrozi has survived, the squad commander will stride forward and fire one final round through the mass murderer's head. It may not be strictly necessary. Beforehand the firing squad members will have practised on dummies. So that they will never know with certainty who fired the fatal rounds, the rifles are laid out in a row near the target. Only two of the 14 are loaded with live ammunition. Amrozi's execution will most likely be carried out on a beach in the dead of night. His family will be barred from viewing. His only dispensation will be a last prayer clutching the Koran."
