Bali bombers cannot stop execution

Late bid for judicial review "will not change or delay the execution". Local chief prosecutor says execution spots have been prepared.

A Supreme Court judge said 3 Indonesian militants on death row for the 2002 Bali bombings have exhausted legal options and cannot prevent their executions.

Djoko Sarwoko said Monday a last-minute attempt by relatives of Imam Samudra, Amrozi Nurhasyim and Ali Ghufron to file a judicial review "will not change or delay the execution."

The men were convicted in the October 2002 Bali nightclub bombings that killed 202 people and authorities have said they could be shot by a firing squad this month.

Local chief prosecutor Muhammad Yamin said they were moved to isolation cells Saturday and execution spots have been prepared on the Nusakambangan island prison where they are being held.
