JAKARTA - The families of the Indonesian Islamists on death row for the 2002 Bali bombings which killed more than 200 people have been told to "get ready" for the executions, officials said Friday. In the latest indication that the men will soon face firing squads, prosecutors and police visited the family of brothers Amrozi, 47, and Mukhlas, 48, in this east Java village and warned them to prepare for bad news.
"We were just here to tell the family to get ready for when the executions take place," chief district prosecutor Irnensif said after speaking to the family for about 30 minutes.
He did not specify when the three bombers - Amrozi, Mukhlas and Imam Samudra, 38 - would be put to death with bullets to their hearts. Samudra's family in the west Java town of Serang received a visit from prosecutors late Thursday, a brother said.
"He's not guilty, he hasn't done anything wrong. He's been slandered. I'm not willing for him to be murdered," Samudra's mother, Embay Badriyah, told reporters. Indonesian officials have said only that the executions will take place in "early November." The bombers were sentenced in 2003 for the attack on packed nightspots that killed mostly foreign tourists, including 88 Australians, in what they said was revenge for US military action in Afghanistan and Iraq.
