MILY COMMANDER TO CONTINUE TIGHTENING SECURITY IN BALI
Denpasar, Indonesia, Nov 9 (ANTARA) - Udayana Military Commander Maj. Gen. Hotmangaradja Panjaitan said the military in cooperation with police will continue to tighten security in Bali after the execution of Amrozi, Ali Gufron alias Mukhlas and Imam Samudra, death-row convicts in Bali bombing in 2002.
"Military and police personnel will continue to be alerted in order to maintain security in Bali," the military chief overseeing Bali, which was the scene of the bombing which killed 202 people, said here on Sunday.
The regional military chief made the statement after opening a bird singing contest.
He said that security might be tightened in Bali, which was a tourist resort province, a destination for world tourists and the scene of the 2002 bombing, so that foreign tourist visitors would feel secured and comfortable.
Panjaitan expressed hope that the execution of the Bali bombers would not create hatred among the bombers' supporters because the execution was carried out based on legal procedures.
Bali bombers, Amrozi, Mukhlas and Imam Samudra, who had been death-row convicts since 2003, were executed by a firing squad in Cilacap district, Central Java, at the wee hours on Sunday.
Attorney General's Office (AGO) Spokesman Jasman Pandjaitan said earlier that the execution of three Bali bombers was carried out at 0.15 a.m. Sunday (Nov.9).
"At 0.15 (local time) Amrozi, Mukhlas and Imam Samudra were executed by a firing squad," Jasman said at a press conference in Jakarta early on Sunday, adding that autopsy had been carried out to confirm their death.
Their bodies were sent to their respective villages on Sunday, namely Amrozi and Mukhlas to Lamongan district, East Java province, while Imam Samudra to Serang, Banten province.
Amrozi, Mukhlas and Iman Samudra were on death row for their roles in the bombings in Bali in October 2002 that left more than 200 people dead including 88 Australian tourists.
