"It was a traumatic experience" says Catholic priest who spoke to the executed Nigerians at the shooting place in Indonesia
A Catholic priest who was present at Nusakambangan prison in Indonesia during last Thursday's executions of three Nigerian drug convicts and one local drug lord, has described the experience as 'traumatic'
Father Charles Burrows, who is based in Cilacap near the prison, was called there to speak with two of of the three Nigerians, who were among 4 death row prisoners executed by firing squad.
Father Burrows said he doesn't know if the executed prisoners suffered. He said he had been present in the past when it has taken several minutes for prisoners to die.
"The first time, it was seven to eight minutes, and then there were some of the other times it was 15 minutes and they still weren't, hadn't expired," he said. "And the captain has to wait with a pistol and shoot into the brain." he told Australian Broadcasting Corporation
Father Burrows said he went with the other ministers from different spiritualities to the "shooting place", because there was no time to speak with them in their cells, with great confusion in the lead-up to the execution. He said it was a "traumatic experience". The ministers prayed together while four ministers spoke to the four men who were executed.
Bill Clinton goes after Donald Trump for calling out the mother of a US soldier killed in Iraq
Hillary Clinton's top surrogates are taking aim at rival Donald Trump for criticizing the bereaved mother of a Muslim Army captain, a comment that sparked outrage across the political spectrum on Saturday.
Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine expressed shock that the GOP nominee would attack Ghazala Khan for not speaking during her husband's address to the Democratic convention.
"He was kind of trying to turn that into some kind of ridicule," Kaine said after a campaign event in Pittsburgh. "It just demonstrates again kind of a temperamental unfitness. If you don't have any more sense of empathy than that, then I'm not sure you can learn it."
Former President Bill Clinton, who joined his wife and Kaine at the event, agreed: "I cannot conceive how you can say that about a Gold Star mother."

1 woman dead and 4 people seriously injured after multiple shootings in Austin, Texas
One woman has died and multiple people were hospitalised after two shootings in downtown Austin, Texas.
Emergency services were called to Sixth Street at 2:17 a.m on Sunday. Police on Twitter urged locals to stay away from the area.
Seven minutes later, emergency services responded to another call on nearby Trinity Street where the victim was being assaulted by an individual with a firearm near a parking garage.
Police later confirmed that the two incidents were isolated and not related.
The incident on Sixth Street was believed to have begun after a disagreement between two individuals led one of them to fire shots into the crowd. Paramedics at the scene said bodies with gunshot wounds were spread across the area.
A woman in her 30s was pronounced dead at the scene and four other people were injured, according to the Austin-County Emergency Medical Services.
Eyewitness Dorian Santiago told Sky News: "We heard fired shots, and people started running crazy ... I was trying to figure out what happened."
"One victim ... they were trying to do CPR to help her, but it looked like she was already dead."
Austin police chief, Bryan Manley, stressed that the incidents were not related, saying: "What we had was two separate incidents that occurred in very close proximity to each other both in location and time that made us initially believe it was an active shooter."
