JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Under intense in- "Too many p
ternational pressure, Indonesia announced yester- beginning of tin
day it would allow an international peacekeeping curity. We can \
force to restore order to the devas
tated territory of East Timor.
However, it was unclear what type
of force would be sent to the territory
and how soon it would arrive.
Until now Jakarta — and partic
ularly its hard-line military — had
defiantly refused to permit outside
forces into the former Portuguese
colony, insisting as late as Saturday
night that it could quell the vio
lence itself.
However, that stance crumpled un
der pressure from governments
around the world horrified by the
slaughter sweeping East Timor.

In a national television address, President BJ. Habi

when East Timor voted to become independent from
Indonesia. That kicked off rampages by pro-Indonesian
militias and Indonesian troops that have killed hun
dreds, perhaps thousands, of East Timorese.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Con
demning what he described as fu
rious attacks on the Catholic
church in East Timor, Pope John
Paul II called yesterday for In
donesia and the international com
munity to rush to the aid of de
fenseless victims.
The pope’s appeal — deliv
ered from the balcony of his
summer residence in Castel Gan-
dolfo, in the hills outside Rome
— was a strong denunciation of
the violence that has convulsed
predominantly Catholic East
Timor since it voted last month

for independen
Muslim Indonesia.
