More details emerge on Australian-U.S. destabilization of East Timor.

June 1, 2006 -- More details emerge on Australian-U.S. destabilization of East Timor. Informed sources from Australia report that the recent attempted coup in East Timor and resulting violence was prompted by covert Australian and American support for a combination of sacked members of the western command of the East Timor Defense Force and former pro-Indonesian Timorese militias operating from the Indonesian western half of Timor island. The Indonesian army (TNI) apparently was aware of the Australian and American interference but took no measures to stop it or report it to the United Nations or other nations. The John Howard and George Bush regimes have their eyes on East Timor's share of Timor Sea oil blocks and fomented the coup to ensure a pro-oil industry regime was installed in Dili.
