Casualty reports were impossible to verify, though witnesses said scores were killed yes terday in the former Portuguese colony. Staff at two hospitals said they had treated about a dozen patients for machete wounds. Indonesian security forces, responsible for keeping the peace in East Timor since an over whelming majority voted for independence, ap peared to do little to stop the rampaging militias from taking control of the provincial capital, Dili. There is strong evidence that the militias are sup ported by elements of the Indonesian army. “There is every indication that a massacre is taking place, staged by [Indonesian] military forces,” Ana Gomes, Lisbon’s diplomatic envoy to Jakarta, told Portugal’s TSF radio. “Over 100 dead would be a conservative estimate.” “There is every indication that a massacre is taking place, staged by [Indonesian] military forces." |“We hae >f good |nly con— — Ana Gomes Lisbon diplomatic envoy to Jakarta Indonesian officials have denied backing the anti-independence militias.

The explosions in the cities of Tiberias and Haifa came hours after a signing ceremony for the first Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement negotiated since the new Israeli prime minister, Ehud Barak, took of fice. The land-for-security pact hinges on the Palestinians agreeing to fight terror attacks. Israel’s Cabinet ratified the pact, 21-2, yesterday. But hardline opponents to the peace process and even Prime Minster Ehud Barak’s chief peace negotiator said attacks could derail the deal. At both bombing scenes, police quickly sealed off the areas and demolition experts moved in. Witnesses described scenes of car nage, with limbs torn from bodies and broken BARAK glass and twisted metal littering the streets. In Tiberias, the burned remains of one of the alleged bombers was draped on the hood of the car. “I was near the main street and I heard a great explosion,” an eyewitness to the Tiberias blast, identified only as Roni, told army radio. “We ran to the place of the attack and saw three bodies burned, body parts in the air. They cleared us from the area.” The three dead were all inside the cars, Haifa police Commander Dor Schecter told reporters, suggesting those killed were the attackers. He said the almost-simultaneous explosions in the two towns 60 miles apart indicated a coordinat ed attack. “The circumstances, the timing indeed sug gest a political motive," Schecter said. He said police were investigating all possibilities. Militant Islamic groups, believing the peace process to be a sellout and furious that their members were left out of a prisoner-release deal, have vowed to continue attacks within Israel. However, there was no immediate claim of re sponsibility for the blasts. rocks, swords and bombs left six par tivists dead yesterday in the first phast: dia's parliamentary election, a contestp: the heavily favored ruling coalition at Italian-born opposition leader SoniaGa.
