Three men convicted of the 2002 Bali nightclub bombings are to be executed in November
Three men convicted of the 2002 Bali nightclub bombings will be executed in November, a spokesman for Indonesia's attorney general has confirmed.
Amrozi Nurhasyim, Ali Gufron and Imam Samudra are set to be executed by firing squad early next month.
"The Indonesian attorney general office decided that the plan to execute Amrozi, Imam Samudra and Ali Gufron will be conducted in early November 2008," Jasman Pandjaitan, a spokesman for the attorney general's office, told reporters.
The bombings in 2002 hit two separate nightclubs killing 202 people, the majority of whom were foreign tourists.
The executions are due to take place at the prison off southern Java where the men are currently being held after being sentenced to death in 2003.
