"Alertness is necessary, so that no undesired things will happen," he told newsmen here Monday. He made the statement in connection with the detention of two Australian social workers in Kosovo, because they acted as spies for NATO. "It is possible that spying by foreign social workers happens in East Timor, which has so far attracted the international world. For that reason, the East Timorese people should always be alert," he said. "I presume that what happens in Kosovo can also happen in East Timor. If there are some UN team members who perform duties which are different from those set by the UN, it is possible that it can happen in East Timor," he said. He noted that such an action is wrong, and a stern response should be taken so that it does not harm the East Timorese people. He appealed to all East Timorese people, officials, and the local administration of East Timor to assist with UN duties there and not to let spying happen. As reported by Antara, the mission of the Australian Foreign Minister, Alexander Downer, failed to release two Australian citizens who are detained in Yugoslavia on spying charges. The two Australian social workers provided assistance for refugees. They worked with CARE for Kosovo. Antara has also reported that a consultant form CARE for Indonesia, who worked in East Timor, is being prevented from going abroad. The worker has no proper document to stay in Dili. The prevention is believed to have something to do with the community clashes in Maubara, and the abuse of US-aided rice distributed through CARE.
