ASIA: Islamic leaders condemn Bali bombers after execution

Islamic leaders have condemned the Bali bombers in a bid to quell religious tensions after the three were executed in Central Java.

Indonesia is on high alert for terrorist attacks and mob violence .. as hundreds of hardline followers gathered in the bombers' home villages in east and west Java to bury them.

Authorities are fearing reprisals as news of the executions spreads .. and the federal government is warning Australian's against travelling to Indonesia.

The head of Indonesia's top Islamic body .. the Majelis Ulama Indonesia or MUI .. has denounced AMROZI .. his brother MUKHLAS and IMAM SAMUDRA .. saying they haven't died as martyrs .. as the three wished.

MUI head UMAR SHIHAB says people who kill can't be said to be martyrs unless it's war .. and we aren't at war and they ended up killing fellow Muslims.

Police remain on high alert across Indonesia .. particularly at shopping centres and embassies .. which have recently been subject to bomb threats.
