A spokesman for Indonesia's Attorney-General's office has told the ABC the three Bali bombers on death row will not be shot within the next fortnight.
He says an update on the execution process will be given on Friday next week.
Today Fairfax newspapers reported that the executions of the Bali bombers Amrozi, Mukhlas and Samudra were set to proceed within the next two weeks.
The reports repeated a comment allegedly made to a local online news service in which Jasman Pandjaitan, a spokesman for Indonesia's Attorney-General, says that the details of the executions will be revealed Friday week.
This was interpreted as meaning the executions will be done before that date.
But Mr Pandjaitan has told the ABC that the executions will not take place before October 24.
"No, not yet", he said."We're explaining on the 24th because we've received so many questions from the foreign media."
"We still don't know the exact time of the executions", he added.
