The security situation across the country has been calm.
Today in Dili, UNPol were required to attend three
incidents. None were major. One was a situation where a young boy was
reportedly throwing rocks at an Australian shop in Comoro Road. Police arrived
and arrested one person for identification.
Early this morning, at around 0328hrs, UNPol received
reports of a house burning just behind Comoro Road in the Lurumatu area. Police
and the Fire Brigade were unable to reach the incident because of impassable
roads. The house was empty and there were no injuries.
Yesterday in Viqueque, the district parish priest was
assaulted by two unidentified people on motorbikes as he was driving through
Makidiki village. He escaped serious injury, and police are investigating the
incident.
PNTL in Baucau district arrested five youths yesterday in
response to reports that people from Samalari and Buibau villages were heading
to Quelicai for a fight. UNPol investigators have been dispatched to the area
and are looking into the allegations.
The Major Crime Investigation Unit has arrested a suspect in
the murder of an off-duty PNTL officer that took place on 21 January 2007. The
suspect was apprehended in the Pala Paso area of Dili.
The UNPol Election Security Plan is currently in Phase Four,
the post-polling phase. UNPol, PNTL and Formed Police Units remain deployed and
