Executed Bali bombers buried in home towns
Three Islamic militants executed for the 2002 Bali bombings that killed 202 people, many of them foreign tourists, were buried today before hundreds of emotional supporters. Some shouted “God is great!” and called the men holy warriors.
Fearing retaliatory attacks for their deaths, Indonesia increased security at tourist resorts, shopping centres and office buildings. The US and Australian embassies urged their citizens to keep a low profile, saying they could be targeted.
