DILI, East Timor (AP) — Australian peacekeep ers repelled an ambush yesterday, killing two anti independence militiamen in the first clash since ar riving 16 days ago. The violence came the same day Nobel Peace Prize winner Bishop Carlos Belo re ceived a joyful welcome home. Belo, who fled during last month’s militia ram page through East Timor, is the first major indepen dence figure to return since the violence that forced thousands from their homes and destroyed much of Dili, East Timor's capital. Yesterday’s clash began in the morning, when Australian troops shot the tires of a truck full of mili tiamen that drove past a roadblock in Suai, a militia stronghold near the border with Indonesia. Four pas sengers were injured. Dozens of militia members were disarmed and taken by peacekeepers to the border with Indone sian-controlled West Timor, where thousands of anti-independence fighters have sought shelter along with an estimated 256,000 East Timorese refugees.

Two peacekeepers were wounded. “That small-vehicle convoy was ambushed by an unknown number of people with firearms. The rest of the assailants fled the scene. The incident confirmed security concerns the peace keepers have expressed as they have fanned out across East Timor. “This is the first time that Interfet soldiers have been wounded by enemy action,” Cosgrove said. “It is the first time that Interfet has been called upon, regrettably, to take lethal action against an adversary. ” The militias have been massing in West Timor and ^O^miles 20 km Dili EAST TIMOR WEST TIMOR U.N. peacekeeper'H clash with militia to launchi have repeatedly threater and retake East Timor.
