An Anti terror and anti bomb truck is sent to Nusakambangan via Wijayapura quay, Cilacap, Central Java, Wednesday (29/10).


More than 1000 policemen have been mobilized to Nusakambangan Island in Cilacap, Central Java which are prepared to look after security before the execution of Amrozy et al. According to some sources, policemen are coming to the island in several different groups. “There are already many policemen there. They are not coming via Wijayapura quay” Says a source.

It is said that the policemen are coming via some different quays with strict security so that no journalists were aware. At the main quay (Wijayapura) only empty trucks were seen passing with no passengers.

Other source says that policemen are seen on street patrolling on street towards Jojok, in anticipating any infiltrator. “Every police post in each prison in Nusa Kambangan is now provided with a Brimob (Brigade Mobile) personnel.

It’s not a revenge!
Wayan Sudiana would never forget what happened six years ago ( 12 October 2002). He and his wife are the victims of Kuta Bomb I. His wife was the cashier at the Sari Club. His wife died together with the other 202 people.

What does Sudiana think of the coming execution of Amrozi et. al. “I just hope that the execution will be done according to the schedule that has been decided by the government. It’s not a revenge, this is about justice,” says the father of two children.

He also hopes that the bombers would remind his followers not to take any similar action. Because if they do so, it would make other people suffer. No religion on the earth permits that kind of action.

The chairman of Isana Dewata, Raden Suprio Laksono whose wife is also the victim of Bali Bom I hopes that the government would be consistent with their decision.
