Jakarta Post, Good Riddance, 11 Nov 08, "The Amrozi Circus has left town. The three terrorists most responsible for the carnage in Bali in October 2002 have finally been executed after months of uncertainty that turned the waiting into a public spectacle that only upset and infuriated relatives of the victims and prolonged their pain.

"Imam Samudra and brothers Amrozi Nurhasyim and Ali Ghufron were executed by a firing squad not far from their Nusakambangan Island high security prison in Central Java. Even until their last moments, they never publicly expressed remorse for planning and executing the bomb attacks on two discos in Bali that left more than 200 people dead, mostly foreign tourists, more than six years ago."
