EAST TIMOR: PEACEKEEPING MISSION: SHOOTING INCIDENT (V)

(23 Sep 1999) Voice and effects VOICED BY Richard Vaughan A shooting incident caused alarm in the East Timorese capital, Dili, on Thursday forcing INTERFET troops and civilians to take cover. U-N troops reacted by setting up rigorous patrols of the area after shots were fired into the air on Thursday. It's still unclear who was behind the incident, but witnesses say up to six Indonesian soldiers were shooting outside the Denpar barracks in the city. VOICE OVER: FX - sound of gunfire 00 06 Australian troops come under fire the East Timor capital. 00 11 The shots sent the peacekeepers chasing gunmen they believed were hostile militiamen or undisciplined Indonesian soldiers. 00 18 As the Australian soldiers scoured the area for the culprits, terrified East Timorese, caught in the middle, ran for their lives ... FX 00 30 The shots were fired near the sports stadium in Dili where refugees are seeking protection from pro-Indonesia militias. 00 37 The shooting comes as international peacekeepers struggle to keep East Timor's devastated capital under control. 00 43 Anyone suspected of belonging to the militias is stopped and searched. 00 50 Tensions are high and the atmosphere on the streets extremely volatile. 00 56 But these innocent men cooperate with the soldiers - and are soon released. 01 00 The commander of the international forces said being shot at was sort of danger the troops knew they would face. 01 08 SOUNDBITE: (English) "When people are running around shooting weapons in the air or near other people the temperature goes right up. This could have so easily have led to deaths both on the part of civilians who are minding their own business, and soldiers who are trying to bring security into an area where there has been none." SUPER CAPTION: Major General Peter Cosgrove, INTERFET commanding officer 01 26 Arson has become another weapon for both sides in East Timor. An Indonesian army barracks was set ablaze by soldiers pulling out of the troubled province. 01 36 While pro-independence East Timorese torched an Indonesian government building.
