That is from the last bombings.
And what happened? Let see...
Well, he went to trial and got the death penalty. As a number of other posters on here pointed out, there were a number of death penalties given out because they confessed to the crimes and gave details of what they did.
There is no question they did it.
So, are they dead? Did the firing squad fire?
No.
They are very much alive and they will likely need to be "retried".
That according to the Indonesian court system.
How about Corbee? No retrial for her, of course. She was a tourist. 20 years for smuggling. Most locals in Bali wanted a life sentence for her.
So, what is the "smiling bomber" doing these days? Have the Bali authorities cracked down on him?

According to that, he's still working on bombings:
"A chapter in his obscure autobiography — titled "Hacking, Why Not?" — directs fellow Muslim radicals to Indonesian-language Web sites and chat rooms for instructions on online credit card fraud and money laundering. "Any man-made product contains weakness because man himself is a weak creature," Samudra writes. "So it is with the Americans, who boast they are a strong nation."
That's justice for tourists in Indonesia.
If you go there, be realistic. You are not under Australian law. You are under Bali/Indonesian law.
When it comes down to the wire, they will not protect you.
That attitude has to change. Maybe it won't. Maybe people will just keep going there in any case and this whole thing will have to play out over and over again.
