Violence erupts in East Time
Pro-Indonesian militia forces target independence support
DILI, Indonesia (AP) — Tens of thousands of
people crammed aboard ferries and planes to
flee East Timor yesterday as pro-Indonesian
militias besieged a U.N. compound and set fire
to homes belonging to people who support in
dependence for the province.
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.”

TIBERIAS, Israel (AP) — Two car blasts in
northern Israeli cities killed three people yester
day — probably the bombers themselves — and
left a fourth person in critical condition in at
tacks likely aimed at halting the newly revived
peace process, police said.
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.
