Bali bombers say there will be severe consequences if they are executed

The three Bali bombers slated for execution in Indonesia announced on 1 October 2008 that there will be severe consequences should authorities carry out the sentences. The bombers were set to be executed in August, but the executions were delayed out of respect for Ramadan and rescheduled for after the conclusion of the religious observance marked by Eid al-Fitr. The three bombers, who were convicted of killing more than 200 people in the 2002 bombings, warned that "mujahideen fighters" will hunt down those responsible for their execution, whether in Indonesia or throughout the world.
