| Australian military - keep out | |
| 2006-10-30 | |
| Australian troops have been banned from a refugee camp in the East Timorese capital Dili after being blamed for killing two men during last week's gang violence. The sign on the fence at the camp says 'Australian military - keep out'. The ban came after ADF boss Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston denied that Australian soldiers were responsible for the deaths. Newspapers in Dili are reporting the claims as fact. In a further sign of eroding relations with Australia, rocks were thrown at the Australian Embassy a few nights ago. At least five people have died in recent gang violence, which closed Dili's international airport last week.
