All Indonesian troops have left East Timor, but many are still based in neighboring West Timor, an Indonesian territory. The peacekeepers and Indone sian army need to cooperate to avoid misunderstandings and to facilitate the return of refugees from West Timor, Australian Maj. Gen. Peter Cosgrove said. Indonesian military officials in West Timor were not immediate ly available for comment, and military officials in Jakarta re ferred requests for comment to West Timor. Cosgrove said he has been try ing to talk with the Indonesian army commander in West Timor, Gen. Damyri, since mid-October. In the absence of any contact, he said, he has authorized lower-lev el contacts between the two sides at the border. Indonesia occupied East Timor, a former Portuguese colony, in 1975. It has ceded control to the Unit ed Nations, which is expected to administer East Timor during a two- to three-year transition to in dependence. The last Indonesian troops left the territory Sunday. Australia is leading the multi national force that entered East Timor on Sept. 20. An overwhelming vote for in dependence three weeks earlier sparked a rampage by pro-Jakarta militias and their Indonesian army backers. Militia members fled to West Timor after peacekeepers arrived, and some had threatened to return to East Timor and reclaim control. Cosgrove said no clashes have been reported between peace keepers and militia members along the border for several weeks. East Timor had a population of 800,000 before the election vio lence. Cosgrove said today his best estimate of the number of East Timorese still unaccounted for is 80,000. Banned sect Friday • Novembe Chinese prosecutors have formally charged six members of the Falun Gong spiritual movement with crimes. Since banning Falun Gong July 22, Chinese authorities have pursued a relentless campaign of vilification against the group’s U.S.-based founder, Li Hongzhi. Here is a brief look at the movement. BY KENNE The FOLLOWERS The movement has proved widely popular with middle-aged and older Chinese people, including Communist Party members. Falun Gong claims 100 million believers worldwide, most of them in China. The Communist Party puts the total in China at 2 million.

Tall Afar is 250 miles north of Baghdad, and Bashiqah is 42 miles farther east. The jets, based in Incirlik in southern Turkey, left the area safely, the statement said. Incirlik spokesperson Lt. Col. Mike Waters re fused to specify the type of ordnance dropped. “They were weapons we felt best dealt with the situation,” Waters said.
