Bali, Indonesia ? Indonesia has delayed the executions of three Islamic militants convicted for the Bali bombings four years ago that killed 202 people, after the condemned men said they wanted to file a final appeal, officials said Monday.

Amrozi Nurhasyim, Ali Gufron and Imam Samudra were among more than 30 people convicted in the 2002 nightclub bombings on the resort island, which officials say were carried out by the al-Qaida-linked Jemaah Islamiyah terror group.

They confessed to the crime but last month authorized attorneys to file a final appeal, known as a judicial review, averting today’s planned execution by firing squad, said I Wayan Pasek Suarta, spokesman for the attorney general.

“We have to respect the rights of the convicts because they have informed us that they want to file a final appeal,” he told The Associated Press.

No new date for the executions was immediately announced.
