JAKARTA, Oct. 24 (UPI) -- The three men convicted of orchestrating a pair of deadly bombings on the Indonesian island of Bali will be executed in November, an official says.

Indonesian Attorney General Hendraman Supandji said Amrozi, Mukhlas and Imam Samudra will face firing squads in early November on the island of Nusakambangan for their involvement in the 2002 attack, The Age (Australia) said in its Saturday edition.

The October 2002 bombings in the Bali town of Kuta Beach left 202 people dead, including 88 Australian nationals.

Since being convicted of orchestrating the deadly attacks in a 2003 trial, the men have been attempting to appeal their resulting death sentences.

The Age said the police officers that will be used in the firing squads have already been chosen for the November executions.
