Rebel captured in Dili

DILI, East Timor (JP): The police captured a member of a
clandestine group that assaulted a guest at a wedding party in
Bemori, one kilometer north of here Saturday.

Sgt. Sidik of the Dili Police Precinct identified the suspect
as Francisco, 25, one of 10 members of a clandestine group who
beat up Miguel, a 45 year-old hospital employee.

He said he was optimistic that the police would catch the
other nine of the group, which recruits students, workers and
unemployed people.

Lt. Col. Edward Frans, an assistant chief of the Social and
Political affairs division of the Dili Military Resort, said the
local government is trying to curb clandestine movements by
creating new jobs. (02/yac)
