STORYLINE:
Three Islamic militants were executed late on November 8th 2008 for helping plan and carry out the 2002 Bali bombings that left 202 people dead, many of them foreign tourists, lawyers and relatives said.
Imam Samudra, Amrozi Nurhasyim, and Ali Ghufron were executed just before midnight several miles (kilometres) from their high security prison on Nusakambangan island, said one of their attorneys.
Their bodies will be taken by helicopter to their home villages for burial, he said.
A spokesman for the Attorney Generals office confirmed the execution.
The October 12, 2002 attacks - allegedly funded by al-Qaida and carried out by members of the Southeast Asian militant group Jemaah Islamiyah - thrust Indonesia onto the front lines of the so-called "war on terror".
One suicide bomber 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.
The victims - most of whom were revellers fleeing the first blast - included 88 Australians, 28 Britons and eight Americans.
