East Timor police spokesman Captain Widodo DS here Tuesday night said there have been no reports on any casualty in the encounter. Earlier, the home of a local resident, Martinho Soares, had been torched by the armed gang. Alerted security personnel were "welcomed" with machine-gunfire preventing them from reaching the site of the fire, but no casualties had been reported. The prointegration faction members on their way home on a number of buses to Hera, a small village in East Dili district, also came a target of rocks hurled by the anti-integrationists. Megawati arrived in the former Portuguese colony on Sunday (Aug 8) on board a special plane. She visited several regencies, and before flying back to Jakarta on Tuesday the PDI-P presidential hopeful held a meeting with Dili residents for about 20 minutes. In the meantime, the Forum for Democratic Unity and Justice (FPDK) in its press statement signed by its spokesman Florencio Mario Viera, deplored the incidents. The forum expressed a strong protest over the provocation by the anti-integration group with a view to sparking reaction or retaliation, in which casualties may fall.
