OAXACA, Mexico (AP) — A
Mexican construction worker
with a previous conviction for
raping a foreign tourist was one
of two men sentenced to 40
years in prison for the 1998 rape
and killing of American artist
Carol .Janet Schlosberg.
After a nearly yearlong delay
due to jurisdictional disputes, an
Oaxaca state court in the Pacific
coast town of Pochutla an
nounced the guilty verdict Tlies-
day, just days after the two men
confessed to the attack.
Bricklayer Cirilo Olivera Lopez
and Rosendo Marquez Gutierrez,
a local drifter, said in court late last
week they had been drinking at a
storefront bar in the nearby resort
town of Puerto Escondido on
March 29, 1998, when they saw
Schlosberg, who was vacationing
from Vermont, walking alone on
the beach.
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.
The ambush occurred nine miles east of the bor
der, as the same peacekeepers returned to Suai lat
er in the day. 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. ”
