U.N. to enter East Timor Bus crash
26 Spaniai
DILI, Indonesia (AP) — Heavi
ly-armed international peacekeep
ers landed in East Timor at dawn
today, clearing the way for a U.N.
approved force charged with
restoring order and helping usher
the Indonesian province toward in
dependence.
A camouflage-green Hercules
C-130 transport plane set down at
Dili airport, the first in a wave of
planes and ships expected by the
end of the day.
About a dozen elite Australian
troops in full combat gear quickly
took up defensive positions.
About two dozen Indonesian
troops greeted the Australians, and
the first minutes of the arrival ap
peared cordial.
Indonesian troops had to chase
a herd of goats off the runway
shortly before the dawn touch
down as sirens wailed to warn sev
eral dozen onlookers.
Supplies and personnel soon
started streaming in at breakneck
speed to bring peace to a territory
devastated by pro-Jakarta militias and
their allies in the Indonesian army.
Soldiers in a second plane that
arrived 30 minutes later unloaded
ammunition, grenades and explo
sives, along with vehicles.
Pallet after pallet was pulled out
onto the runway, as camouflaged
vehicles were driven down ramps
from the backs of the Hercules car
go planes.
Five planes in all had arrived
within the first two hours, bringing
in several dozen soldiers and vital
supplies. Many of the soldiers were
to head to the city’s port area, to
clear the way for combat ships
heading toward East Timor.
Australian, British and New
Zealand soldiers quickly secured
the perimeter of the small airfield.

NATO, KLA discuss disbanding an
an
PRISTINA, Yugoslavia (AP) — NATO and
Kosovo Liberation Army were reported in inte
discussions early today in an effort to reach
agreement on what will become of the former rebel
army after it disbands.
NATO officials insisted the June agreement for the
KLA to demobilize remains in effect.
But they acknowledged unspecified problems pre
vented the two sides from signing an agreement by
the deadline, yesterday at midnight, on transforming
the KLA into a 5,000-member civilian Kosovo Corps.
The KLA wants the new organization to become
the nucleus of a new army of an independent Koso
vo — something NATO has refused.
NATO has insisted the peacekeepers must be the
only armed force in Kosovo. The Russians and the
Serbs — who consider the KLA terrorists responsible
