Timor-Leste: Reporting calm in Dili, UN plans to probe recent violence
The Special Representative of Secretary-General, Kamalesh Sharma, indicated that the UN mission in the country, known as UNMISET, would "thoroughly investigate" the violence in parallel with the Timor-Leste Government, and would conduct autopsies on the two deceased to determine the exact cause of death.
The envoy - who met yesterday with Timor-Leste President Xanana Gusmão and Prime Minister Mari Alkatiri to assess the security situation and review the necessary corrective measures - commented that the incident appeared to be "part of a planned attack against selected targets throughout Dili."
Mr. Sharma said that UNMISET is committed to discharging its mandate of helping to develop and strengthen the Timor-Leste Police Service.
