URGENT! URGENT! URGENT!

News has just come from Dili, East Timor, that the already tense situation
there has become completely chaotic. All of the remaining 22 international
observers with the International Federation for East Timor Observer Project
(IFET-OP) are fleeing East Timor.  They are waiting for a police escort to
the airport, but all roads are blocked and the gunfire is getting closer to
their house.

According to anxious phone discussions with IFET-OP observers in Dili,
UNAMET has confirmed that the International Red Cross office has been
completely destroyed by militia groups. The situation is extremely volatile.

For more information, please contact the Dili office of IFET-OP at
62-390-321969.  In the US, call Eric Piotrowski in Watsonville, California
at 831-728-4190.
