Imam Samudra, Amrozi Nurhasyim and Ali Ghufron (Mukhlas) were killed with shots to the heart on the island prison of Nusakambangan, local TV said. | |
There has so far been no official confirmation of the deaths. | |
Officials had said the three would be shot in early November but no date had been announced for their execution. | |
They were sentenced five years ago but have often several appeals for leniency. | |
However, they have also said they are keen to be "martyrs" for their dream of creating a South East Asian caliphate. | |
A last-minute appeal by relatives of the bombers was rejected by a Supreme Court judge earlier this week. |
