UNPol in East Timor Security Briefing 18 January 2008



UNPOL Daily Security Briefing 18 January 2008 - This is a broadcast of the UN Police in Timor-Leste to provide you with information about the security situation around the country.

The security situation in Timor-Leste has been calm.

No security incidents were reported to police in Dili today.

On Thursday morning in Samalete village, Ermera, police investigators responded to a report of a dead body found by a river. The body was identified as a 45-year-old man who had been missing since Monday. The cause of death is thought to be accidental. It appears he slipped whilst trying to climb a steep embankment and hit his head on a rock.

On Thursday in Faularan village, Covalima, the house of a 22-year-old woman was set on fire after a domestic argument. There are no reports of any injuries, and police have arrested a 24-year-old man on suspicion of arson.

Heavy rainfall continues in many parts of Timor-Leste, particularly in the western districts. Motorists are advised to be cautious when driving. Day time travel is advised in the affected areas unless you are forced to travel by night. 

The police advise to avoid travelling during the night to the most affected areas. Please report any suspicious activities.  You can call 112 or 7230365 to contact the police 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
