UNPol in East Timor Security Briefing 7 January 2008



UNPol Daily Security Briefing 7 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.

Today in Dili, police attended four incidents, including three traffic accidents and a minor assault upon a 21-year-old woman near Comoro Bridge.

Early this morning in Dili, a 32-year-old man suspected of being mentally ill entered the yard of the residence of former Prime Minister Mari Alkatiri, and damaged three cars before being stopped by one UNPol and one PNTL officer. The man was later arrested and taken to Dili District police station. There are no reports of any injuries.

Separately, another two people were arrested in Dili last night: one for causing a public disturbance in the vicinity of the Airport IDP camp, and one for rock throwing in Balide.

On Sunday in Covalima district, police arrested ten people in connection with the disturbances in the village of Kunain that took place on Friday last week. Investigations are in progress.

Early on Sunday morning in Tilomar sub-district of Covalima, police received a report of a fire in a house in Sadahur village. No injuries are reported, and police think it is very unlikely that the incident is connected in any way to the recent disturbances in Kunain village.

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.
