THE three Islamic militants convicted over the Bali nightclub bombings have been notified of their imminent execution, a prison source said today.
The source at the Nusakambangan island prison off southern Java also said the bombers had been placed in isolation away from other prisoners in preparation for their date with the firing squad.
"The letter ordering the execution was submitted last night at 9pm (0100 AEDT) Friday," the source said.
He did not say whether the letter gave a precise time for the executions.
Officials have not confirmed the letter and neither the families nor the lawyers for the bombers have received the usual three-day notice of execution.
The government has said only that Amrozi, 47, his brother Mukhlas, 48, and ringleader Imam Samudra, 38, will be executed by firing squad in early November over the 2002 attacks on the resort island of Bali.
