Mukhlas and Amrozi, two of the Islamic terrorists who carried out the 2002 nightclub bombings in Bali, will soon be put down. And then they’ll be buried with honors in their home town.

After the brothers are executed with fellow terrorist Imam Samudra, a sentence which could be carried out as early as tomorrow, their corpses will be flown by helicopter to their home village of Tenggulun in East Java.

A helipad, marked with a large white H, has been built in a paddock close to town. Nearby, the cemetery is planted with frangipani trees. It is also the resting place of their father, Nur Hashyim.

Family spokesman Abu Chozin said the family was very angry and disappointed that they haven’t been told when the executions would take place. “This is a very bitter experience for us,” he said. “It is a hard lesson but the deaths of the two brothers is for the cause of Islam.”
