Security tight in Bali
DENPASAR – Security was tight on the Indonesian island of Bali today ahead of the expected execution of the three Bali bombers in neighbouring Java.
Army movements of trucks and soldiers were taking place at key sites.
Small teams of armed soldiers were seen in close proximity to resort hotels on the island.
News sources reported that In Jakarta there is fear of civil disorder by hard-line supporters of the men who murdered 202 people, including 88 Australians, in Bali in 2002.
Yesterday, text messages circulated around Jakarta warning of terrorist attacks on shopping malls and places where Westerners gather. Police dismissed the messages as hoaxes, but they reflect concern being generated by the bombers and their followers.
The three men could be shot any time from Saturday, with informed sources saying that was the most likely day.
Police sources said the plan, which is still being finalised, was for the bombers to be executed by firing squad at three different sites.
