Jakarta: Indonesia has executed three Islamists sentenced to death for the 2002 Bali bombings that killed 202 people, the attorney-general's office said on Sunday.
Jasman Pandjaitan, a spokesman for the attorney-general's office, said Imam Samudra, Mukhlas and Amrozi were executed on Nusakambangan island in central Java.
The three men were among more than 30 people convicted in the twin attacks.
They never expressed remorse, saying the bombings were meant to punish the US and its Western allies for
alleged atrocities in Afghanistan and elsewhere.
