Twenty-five detained after East Timor unrest
 
 
10.20am Tuesday August 22, 2006
 
International police in East Timor have detained 25 people after an Australian police officer was assaulted and six homes were burned in the latest unrest in the capital, Dili.
 
Australian Federal Police superintendent Tim Dahlstrom said the police officer was cornered and kicked by local gang members.
 
Those detained had been carrying weapons and rioting.
 
A government worker was also arrested for assaulting the officer.
 
Calm has largely returned to the country after a wave of violence, arson and looting from April to June after the sacking of 600 soldiers from the west of the country who had complained of discrimination.
 
International troops and police led by Australia with Malaysian, New Zealand and Portuguese elements have been working to restore order.
 
The UN Security Council is expected to approve a new mission for East Timor involving more than 1600 police, military liaison and observers.
