Timor : UNAMET Office in Bobonaro Attacked Dili, June 29 (ANTARA)- A group of prointegration youths attacked the UNAMET (United Nations Assessment Mission in East Timor) office in Bobonaro district injuring several people, including an UNAMET officer, police said. "They pelted stones at the UNAMET office out of jealousy because they don't know about UNAMET's tasks," East Timor police spokesman Col Widodo told reporters here Tuesday. Due to the attack the house accomodating the UNAMET office was damaged and several people, including an UNAMET staffer identified as Frederick, suffered scratch wounds. The incident was overcome after police came to the scene. Widodo said prointegration people in the district, particularly youths, thought UNAMET had been unfair and taken sides. The acts of UNAMET staff had caused jealously as their office was used for a gathering of people belonging to the proindependence group. He said the UNAMET's presence had "revived" the antiintegration spirit among people who had earlier been won over to the prointegration side. "That kind of behavior was what caused the incident. It was not a brawl as some people claim," he said. He said the police had summoned the leaders of the two groups and briefed them about the role of UNAMET. He said the police had also asked them not to take any advantage of UNAMET's presence. Mentioning an instance of antiintegration aggressivenes, Widodo said youths belonging to that group attacked a police patrol car Monday, hurting the patrol's chief. He said the car was just passing the village of Matadoro after dropping off several policemen at a nearby UNAMET office. "Many Indonesian police officers have fallen victim in Matadoro, a village known as an antiintegration base," he said.
