1. (SBU) Summary:  UNMIT sees ongoing disturbances in Dili 
becoming more organized and UNPOL notes drug related behavior 
and evidence that payments are being made to perpetrators. 
Recognizing the counterproductive effect of freeing most of 
those of those arrested after only a short period of detention, 
UNMIT is meeting with prosecutors in an attempt to devise better 
means of holding key offenders for longer periods.  Despite the 
escalated level of violence in the past week, the UN is not 
raising its threat level beyond its current Phase Two. In 
response to concerns raised by the diplomatic corps, UNPOL 
provided assurances of increased attention to any movements 
directed toward the area where most embassies and diplomatic 
residences are located.  End Summary. 
 
2. (SBU) In an October 27 meeting with chiefs of diplomatic 
missions and international agencies, UNMIT acting SRSG Finn 
Reske-Nielsen and acting UNPOL Police Commissioner Antero Lopes 
provided an overview of the security situation in Dili from 
their perspective.  Lopes had only sketchy reports regarding 
killings and related clashes earlier on October 27, but noted 
that the situation had been brought under control.  (Note: Two 
fish vendors from a Lorosae (eastern) dominated market were 
ambushed and killed, apparently by a gang of Loromonu (western) 
youth, while waiting to purchase fish from incoming boats in the 
beach-front area West of the US Embassy.)  In regard to the 
escalated violence of the past week, Lopes stressed the 
following points: 
 -- Disturbances are more organized, and homicides are 
increasing. 
 -- The current hotspots are Fatuhada (the neighborhood behind 
the U.S. and other diplomatic missions), Bebonuk (just west of 
the Embassy where the October 27 murders took place), and the 
Comoro/Airport area. 
 --Martial arts groups such as "77" and "SHT" have been heavily 
involved. 
 --Incidents usually begin with skirmishes involving individuals 
and grow into clashes of groups, generally of no more than 40 
persons, but in the October 24 conflict around the airport 
groups of as many as 300 were observed. 
 --Evidence of drug-related behavior beginning to be seen among 
perpetrators, as well as many reports of payments being made to 
participants in the violence. 
 
3.  (SBU) In regard to the October 24 clashes around the airport 
which involved the highest levels of violence here in recent 
months, Lopes noted that: 
 -- 200 UNPOL were engaged in the operation, including the 
Portuguese, Malaysian and Bangladeshi formed units. 
 -- The casualty toll among Timorese was two killed, 5 injured, 
while two Portuguese GNR received minor injuries and 6 UNPOL 
vehicles were damaged. 
 -- An Australian ISF member fired on an armed Timorese 
assailant but there is no evidence the Timorese was hit 
(contrary to some media reports). 
 -- Gunshots were directed at UNPOL in the Fatuhada area but no 
casualties resulted. 
 
4. (SBU) The acting SRSG and Lopes acknowledged that the 
inability of the judicial system to process cases was resulting 
in most of those arrested quickly being released.  Lopes said 
arrests for the more minor offenses were minimal, because it was 
realized that the process of holding perpetrators for only a 
short time actually was counter productive, since they then 
returned to the streets as "heroes who had beat the system." 
Reske-Nielsen said UNMIT consulting closely with prosecutors to 
devise more effective means of processing cases within the 
limitations of existing judicial resources to ensure that the 
worst perpetrators could be held for longer periods. 
 
5. (SBU) Despite the escalated level of violence in the past 
week, the UN is not raising its threat level beyond the current 
Phase Two, i.e., restricting some movements but keeping all 
staff and dependents in country. A number of the heads of 
diplomatic missions expressed concern about the increasing 
proximity of the violence to the area where most diplomatic 
missions are located.  Lopes provided assurances that while 
UNPOL may not always be visible in the immediate vicinity of the 
diplomatic establishments, in coordination with JTF they were 
carefully monitoring all the approaches to the area and moving 
 
DILI 00000540  002 OF 002 
 
 
to intercept any movements of groups in that direction.
