Article Abstract:

Independence movement leaders, students and journalists from East Timor have gone into hiding from paramilitary forces since April 1999.

Under siege

Article Abstract:

Less than 300 Australian troops in the airport complex in Baghdad are mainly administrative or in air traffic control and it is reported that they were not exposed to extra risk. It is reported that the insurgents want them dead, but the lack of Australian casualties is something, which the Australian are proud of.
