Guest guest Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 Tuesday, May 10, 2005 Posted: 9:14 PM EDT (0114 GMT) (CNN) -- The Australian Government has issued a warning of a possible terrorist attack or bombings of government buildings in East Timor. Late Tuesday the Australian Government issued the travel advisory, warning travellers to avoid all government buildings in the capital, Dili and specifically pointed to possible attacks being carried out on Wednesday May 11. " We have received new information of a possible attack or bombing against East Timor government buildings in Dili on 11 May, 2005. Australians are advised to avoid the vicinity of all government buildings in Dili, " the travel advisory said. The Government did not reveal who or what group it believed could carry out such a threat. East Timor has been plagued by violence since it gained independence in 1999, after an Australian-led United Nations-mandated intervention force effectively removed pro-Indonesian militas, after the population overwhelmingly voted for independence from Jakarta. The Australian travel warning also comes as the next round of talks between East Timor and Australia over the Timor Sea oil and gas riches begins on Wednesday in Sydney. The talks between Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer and East Timorese Foreign Minister Hose Ramos Horta are expected to finalize plans under a deal struck last month. In late April, Downer said Australia had struck a deal with East Timor over disputed maritime boundaries and oil and gas revenues from the Timor Sea. Under the deal East Timor would receive up to Aust. $5 billion ($3.85 billion) as well as a 90 per cent share of revenues it receives from a joint development area in the Timor Sea. In return East Timor has agreed to postpone a resolution on the contentious sea boundary issue. East Timor believes the sea boundary line should be drawn half way between the two countries while Australia wants it closer to East Timor. http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/asiapcf/05/10/timor.travel/index.html Dear List Members, On May 20, the dasha will be Ra/Ve/Mo/Sa/Mo. As we can see, all the operational planets will be afflicted. The danger is very real.
