Jakarta - The bodies of three Indonesian Muslim militants who were put to death by firing squad early Sunday for their roles in the 2002 Bali bombings have arrived at their respective home villages for burial.
A helicopter carrying the bodies of brothers Amrozi and Mukhlas, alias Ali Ghufron, landed at Tenggulun village of East Java province, before being brought by ambulances to their relatives' residence.
Another chopper bringing the body of Imam Samudra had also reportedly landed at police headquarters in Banten's provincial capital of Serang, then brought by an ambulance to his family's residence, witnesses and media reports said.
The three condemned men were executed by firing squad shortly after midnight Saturday in Nusakambangan Island off the southern coast of Java where the men were being held on death row.
