Indonesia's martial law commander Maj Gen Kiki Syahnakri said in Dili Thursday, the TNI and Interfet had solved the misunderstanding amicably. Kiki slammed foreign media for erroneously reporting that there had been an exchange of fire between the TNI and Interfet. Meanwhile, according to a press statement issued by the TNI High Command, the misunderstanding in Dili occured when Interfet personnel were trying to disperse a group of Timorese looters at a spot which happened to be close to a TNI station. At the particular moment, the Indonesian militarymen were busy emptying the station's munitions and arms depot and sending its contents to Kupang in East Nusa Tenggara. The Interfet soldiers, seeing the TNI members carrying cases and other objects, thought they were looters, and fired some warning shots. The tension that followed, however, was quickly resolved by both sides, the statement said.
