After 6 years the three master minds of the bombings that killed 88 Australians have now been executed by firing squad.
I lived in WA at the time and many of the killed and injured were from the West. I remember clearly the shock waves in Perth as many of our own who were holiday-makers who had earned a week or three in the sun were stolen. It was in some ways Australia’s 9/11, although we lost folk in that terrorist attack too.
But I can’t help wondering what we have achieved. The lack of remorse on the faces of Iman, and the brothers, Amrozi and Mukhlas was disgusting. Ultimately it can’t bring the dead back nor restore the injured as has been pointed out. They see themselves as martyrs and were eagerly anticipated their deaths. Such as this;
A source at the prison said the condemned men had shouted “Allahu Akbar”, or God is greater, as they were escorted from their isolation cells shortly before the executions.

He (the brother of amrozi) sent a text message to relatives in Arabic saying “they are with the Almighty”.
In a statement on behalf of the family of Mukhlas and Amrozi, elder brother Chozin said: “We hope the spirit of my brothers Amrozi and Ali Ghufron (Mukhlas) will be takn by green birds to paradise.”
There are fears of reprizals though like this one well put;
Former Adelaide magistrate Brian Deegan, who lost his son Josh in the Bali bombings, says he’s full of trepidation about reprisals after the executions of three bombers.
Mr Deegan, who staunchly opposes capital punishment, said he was worried about what would happen next. “I have (a sense of) trepidation as to what might happen as a result of this,” he said.
and it seems with good cause.
Right up until their final days, the killers showed no remorse and used the media to claim to be warriors of Islam and predict a wave of attacks against Westerners following their deaths.
