The attorney general's spokesman, Jasman Pandjaitan, said the bombers, in their final act of unrepentant asked not to be blindfolded,
"Only one bullet hit the victims, right on the left chest hitting the heart," Pandjaitan told a news conference. The sight of the executions must have swelled the hearts of those who lose their love one on the explosions.
As the date of the executions nears, thousands of Indonesians supporters of the militant poured onto the streets. During the funerals scores of people were hurt in the clash between police and emotional supporters.
The crowd increases as the body covered with Islamic black shroud was carried to the mosque. Some in the crowd jostle to carry the bier or touch the body.
There were heard of "Goodbye Syuhada (heroes)" and "Allahu Akbar" as the bodies of Mukhlas and Amrozi were taken from the mosque.
They were then carried to an Islamic boarding school where controversial cleric Abu Bakar Bashir conducted prayers.
Outside, some of the survivor of the bombing prayed at a memorial near the blast site at Kuta.
Since 2005, there have been no major bomb attacks in Indonesia, but many analyst consider it still at risk.
The local spokeman of Jemaah Islamiah said the Bali bombing were intended to drive foreigners away from Indonesia as part of a drive to make Indonesia, the most populous Muslim country part of a larger Islamic caliphate just like in the old days.
Due to the executions,Australia immediately issued a travel advisory for citizens going to Bali and Indonesia .The Foreign Minister Stephen Smith warned of possible reprisals by Jemaah Islamiah.
However another analyst said that some people in Indonesian society regards them as martyrs, while the whole looks askance at such aborration. Some claim s that the JI ability to convert and train new recruits to their causes and their acts are much reduced. The authorities in Indonesia are now very aware of the militants within.
