      <description>
Then recently retired from his post as Indonesian's chief of general staff, General Mantiri was nominated by president Suharto as Indonesia's representative in Canberra and the Keating government accepted the appointment. Almost immediately, however, a storm of protest erupted over remarks General Mantiri had made three years earlier as Indonesian military commander in East Timor, when he was interviewed about the 1991 massacre of 270 East Timorese independence demonstrators in Dili's Santa Cruz cemetery. ''We don't regret anything. What happened was quite proper ... we took firm action.''

      <title>Escalating tensions among East Timor police</title>
      <description>
ABC Radio Australia 01/10/2008 - Tensions are brewing in East Timor's national police force as the government works to weed out corruption and rehabilitate the force. The administration in Dili hopes it can eventually farewell the 1,500 UN police, who've taken responsibility for internal security for the past two years. But a series of incidents in recent weeks suggest efforts on police reform may not be going as smoothly as the government would wish.
