UNPol in East Timor Security Briefing 05 June 2007



The security situation in the country as a whole has been stable, although Viqueque remains tense following the shootings on Sunday.

Today in Dili, UNPol conducted 43 patrols and attended a total of five incidents. At around 0730hrs a student was assaulted at Balide Senior High School. Three hours later, UNPol received a report of a group of about 50 - 60 locals approaching a house in Fomento armed with machetes and darts. A Formed Police Unit was quickly dispatched and dispersed the group. At 1222 hrs, UNPol received a report of a fight between two groups at Bairo Pite junction. When officers arrived, the two groups dispersed. There were no injuries or damage to property.

UNPol is continuing its investigation into the alleged murders that took place in Viqueque last Sunday. Officers from the Major Crime Investigation Unit are working with forensics experts and other officers from the National Investigation Unit who arrived on the scene today.

The Police advise to avoid traveling during the night to the most affected areas. Report any suspicious activities and avoid traveling the areas affected by disturbances. Call 112 or 7230365 to contact the police 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
