It's about time. Took long enough.

The three convicts convicted of masterminding the 2002 Bali Bombings were executed at 23.10 Jakarta-time, Antara news agency reported early Saturday morning.

Amrozi, Mukhlas a.k.a. ALi Ghufron, and Imam Samudra, were reportedly rounded up from their cells at 23.00 and taken to a location known as the "Nirbaya" hills, located 6 kilometers from Batu Penitentiary.

Nirbaya, a former prison during the Dutch colonial era, is now used as a place for executing death-row convicts.

According to Antara, Amrozi, Mukhlas and Imam Samudra were shot dead in the presence of three Central Java Regional Police shooting squads.

The procession begun at 23.10 with a sermon by a religious scholar, advising the convicts to accept their fate.
