Police scrambles mobile communication at port

The Jakarta Post   |  Sat, 11/08/2008 6:40 PM  |  National

The Central Java Police have installed a cellular transmission scrambling device to obstruct mobile telecommunication within 100 meters from the Wijayapura port in Cilacap.

The move was part of a security measure taken in the light of the imminent death penalty execution of three convicted terrorists responsible for killing 202 people from 22 countries in Bali in 2003.

The victims were killed by two devastating explosions ignited by a team of terrorists through a cellular transmission.

Journalists gathering at the port were already feeling the impact of the device, kompas.com reported Saturday noon. The port is the only gateway to the Nusakambangan island where the terrorists -- Amrozi, Ali Gufron and Imam Samudra -- are waiting for their execution.

Earlier, sources told The Jakarta Post that the execution would be carried out at midnight on Saturday by a firing squad. (and)

About time. Even in the so called infedels countries, we respect life. In the event of taking it, we havent laughed and Smiled in the face of other peoples misery. All religons have their faults but we are in the new age, its time to live in peace and start looking after our world. People like the bali bombers have met their maker and i hope that the victims and the people of bali can truely put this terrible event behind them. I hope it stands out that bali wont tolerate simple, crazy so called terroists! I do wonder if they were smiling when they were executed.

Midnight today is around 5 years too late! Feed them to the sharks! Then arrest and jail all supporters who still talk about their innocence.
