Iman Samudra and his loyal friend


TENGGULUN, Indonesia – Indonesia boosted security Sunday after three Islamic militants were executed for the 2002 Bali bombings that killed 202 people. Emotional supporters thronged ambulances carrying their caskets through narrow streets, some calling for revenge.
Several embassies, including those of the U.S. and Australia, urged citizens to keep a low profile, saying they could be targeted.
Imam Samudra, 38, and brothers Amrozi Nurhasyim, 47, and Ali Ghufron, 48, were brought before a firing squad near their high-security prison on Nusakambangan island in the middle of the night Sunday, said Jasman Panjaitan, a spokesman for the attorney general's office.
They refused blindfolds and died instantly, he said.
The Oct. 12, 2002 attacks — allegedly funded by al-Qaida and carried out by members of the Southeast Asian militant group Jemaah Islamiyah — were the first of several suicide bombings in the world's most populous Muslim nation.
Many of those killed were Western tourists, who packed into two nightclubs on the popular resort island on the busiest night of the week. Seven of the dead were American.
The three militants confessed to helping plan and carry out the attacks but were without remorse, saying they were meant to punish the U.S. and its Western allies for wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Nurhasyim, ever gloating, came to be known as the "smiling bomber."
The executions ended years of uncertainty about the men's fate.
Their lawyers launched several unsuccessful legal challenges that kept them in the media spotlight, frustrating relatives of victims and enabling the militants to rally supporters even while behind bars. They repeatedly demanded retaliation if their executions went forward.
Most in the nation of 235 million are moderate Muslims who have little sympathy for the bombers, but the men have strong support among an increasingly vocal radical fringe.
Thousands of supporters and onlookers lined streets in their home towns of Tenggulun and Serang, located in east and west Java. Some jostled for a glimpse of their caskets or headed to the cemetery with family members for the burials.
Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Bashir led the prayers in Tenggulun, home of Nurhasyim and Ghufron, one of their final requests.
Former militants allege Bashir headed Jemaah Islamiyah in the early 2000s. But while he was found guilty of giving his blessing to the Bali attacks, his conviction was overturned after he spent more than three years in jail.
The cleric said Saturday the bombers had "sacrificed their lives" for "the struggle of Islam."
Solikum, a 17-year-old student at a nearby hardline Islamic boarding school, was among those calling for revenge on Sunday, saying the three men were "holy warriors" who should not have been killed. Like many Indonesians, he goes by only one name.
Dozens of radicals scuffled briefly with police in the east Java town, but there were no serious disturbances.
The government took no chances, stepping up security at shopping malls, churches, and other sensitive locations, said Abubakar Nataprawira, spokesman of the national police.
At least two bomb threats were reported on Sunday, but both turned out to be hoaxes, he said.
It was a day of mixed emotions for survivors and relatives of victims — 88 of whom were from Australia.
Brian Deegan of Adelaide, who lost his son Josh in the bombings, said "the tears don't roll quite as often, that absolute gut-ache has diminished a bit," but nothing will ever make the pain disappear.
He opposes capital punishment and worries about revenge attacks, even though Jemaah Islamiyah has been severely weakened by hundreds of arrests, with its last attack occurring more than three years ago.
"There's no shortage around the world of persons that are prepared to commit suicide to achieve a result," Deegan said.
Others were relieved justice had been served at last.
"These guys went to set about mass murder and paid the highest penalty," said Peter Hughes of Perth, who suffered horrific burns in the bombings. "It doesn't feel good, but they did do the crime and they've paid for it."
Though the three Bali bombers said they were happy to die as martyrs, their lawyers argued they were convicted retroactively on anti-terrorism laws. They also opposed death by firing squad, saying their clients preferred beheadings because they were more "humane."
The three men were among more than 30 people convicted in connection with the twin nightclub blasts, the bloodiest of four suicide bombings blamed on Jemaah Islamiyah-linked militants.
One of the attackers walked into Paddy's nightclub on a busy Saturday night, setting off a bomb attached to his vest. Minutes later, a larger car bomb exploded outside the nearby Sari Club.
Most of the victims were revelers fleeing the first blast.
