Yeltsin recovering
from bout with flu
YELTSIN
MOSCOW (AP) — President
Boris Yeltsin received hospital
treatment for the flu and his tem
perature was re
turning to nor
mal yesterday, the
Kremlin said.
Yeltsin, who
was hospitalized
Saturday, has
been plagued by
various health
problems in re
cent years. Each
new illness has prompted renewed
speculation over whether he is fit
enough to lead Russia.
Presidential spokesperson Dmit
ry Yakushkin said Saturday Yeltsin
was receiving treatment and his
fever was falling, according to the
Interfax news agency. He did not
provide details on the treatment or
say when the president might be
released from Moscow’s Central
Clinical Hospital.
Yeltsin did not give any addi
tional powers to Prime Minister
Vladimir Putin — a sign the illness
was not serious, Interfax reported.
Russia’s first elected president
has been in and out of the hospital
for years, undergoing multiple by
pass surgery in 1996 and repeated
ly receiving treatment for pneumo
nia and respiratory infections. This
past year he also has suffered from
back pain. He was last hospitalized
in February for what doctors said
was a bleeding ulcer.
The president’s health appeared
to have improved in recent months,
and he was fairly active in office.
But even when healthy, Yeltsin
rarely spends a full day at the
Kremlin. He typically visits his of
fice a few days a week, and only for
a few hours at a time.
Instead, he spends most of his
days at a country residence in the
woods west of Moscow, and rarely
travels outside the capital.
The president held meetings in
the Kremlin at the beginning of last
week, but then disappeared for
several days.
Peacekeeping troops
battle armed militia
Australians accused of killing police officer
DILI, East Timor (AP) — Inter
national peacekeepers clashed
with a contingent of armed men
yesterday, exchanging fire in a
town that straddles the border be
tween East Timor and Indonesian-
controlled West Timor.
A senior Australian army officer
said two militia members may have
been wounded. But an Indonesian
security official accused peace
keepers of killing an Indonesian
police officer in the exchange and
wounding two others.
If Indonesian police were in
volved, it would be the first direct
clash between international troops
and Indonesian forces since the de
ployment of foreign peacekeepers
to East Timor Sept. 20.
The clash, apparently triggered
by confusion over the location of
the border, was the third firefight in
the past four days.
Some fear Indonesian-trained
militants have now launched a
guerrilla campaign to partition
East Timor.
The Indonesians said the shoot
ings took place in West Timor, but
the Australians said it happened in
East Timor.
Officers from both sides said it
started when an Australian patrol
approached the village of Motaain,
which straddles the border be
tween the two halves of the South
east Asian island.
“The patrol returned fire, possi
bly hitting two militia members,”
Col. Mark Kelly, chief of staff of the
peacekeeping force, said.
