Quote:
Three Christian militants were executed by firing squad early Friday for leading attacks on Muslims six years ago that left 70 people dead, police and relatives said.

The men were taken before the firing squad at 12:15 a.m. (2:15 p.m. EDT Thursday), said a senior police officer who asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to speak to the media. Family members later said they had received confirmation of their deaths.

In carrying out the death sentence, Indonesia ignored an appeal last month by Pope Benedict XVI to spare the men. A Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, told the Italian news agency ANSA that news of the execution "was very sad and painful."

Fabianus Tibo, 60, Marinus Riwu, 48, and Dominggus da Silva, 42, were found guilty of leading a Christian militia that launched a series of attacks in May 2000 � including a machete and gun assault on an Islamic school where dozens of men were seeking shelter.

In the future, do not reply if all you are going to say is one word, a smiley, or saying something like "I agree" that's Spam
