U.N. personnel pull o
of East Timor missio
Militias loot compound following evacuatk
DILI, Indonesia (AP) — Indone
sian soldiers looted the abandoned
U.N. mission in East Timor yester
day, just hours after 110 U.N. per
sonnel and 1,300 East Timorese
were evacuated and flown to safe
ty to end a 10-day siege.
Office equipment and comput
ers were carted away and vehicles
were trashed by the soldiers — “the
very people we asked to secure the
compound when U.N. staff moved
to the Australian consulate,” U.N.
spokesperson Fred Eckhard said in
New York.
There were reports yesterday
that the compound was also
torched, but Eckhard said he was
told that it was not the com
pound but a small house nearby
that had been burned.
The remaining U.N. staff mem
bers, holed up in the Australian
consulate, reported that a black
plume of smoke was rising from
the direction of the compound in
the provincial capital of Dili, Fer
nando del Mundo, spokesperson
for the U.N. High Commissioner
for Refugees in Jakarta, said.
The staff feared their headquar
ters had been set ablaze by pro-In
donesia militiamen, he said.
The dozen U.N. personnel who
stayed behind in Dili were to prepare
the way for an international peace
keeping force, the makeup of which
was being negotiated by Indonesian
and U.N. officials yesterday.
But time appeared to be running
out, with more than 200,000 East

The images include two sets of
detailed pictures from the early

JERUSALEM (AP) — Prime
Minister Ehud Barak will not con
sider dismantling
Israel’s nuclear
weapons as long
as regional hostil
ities persist and
will not permit an
international in
spection of the Di-
mona nuclear re
actor, an Israeli
newspaper reported yesterday.
The daily Haaretz published ex
cerpts from a letter by the head of Is
rael’s Atomic Energy Commission,
Gideon Frank, saying that “progress
in the area of arms control and dis
armament can come about only
BARAK
through political accommodation
and reconciliation” in the region.
The Aug. 9 letter was ad
dressed to the International Atom
ic Energy Agency.
Barak’s aides were not immedi
ately available for comment.
Israel has never publicly ac
knowledged possessing nuclear
weapons, saying only that it would
not be the first to introduce them in
the Middle East.
In recent years, the secrecy has
been lifted somewhat. In 1996, then-
Prime Minister Shimon Peres said Is
rael began pursuing a nuclear capa
bility in the 1950s to prevent more
wars. Western intelligence reports
said the country is the only nuclear
power in the Mideast and hasP I 1
