31 JUL 98 - 11:47 East Timor/Portugal: Nobel Peace Prize laureate Ramos Horta has doubts about Indonesian troop withdrawal
Lisbon, 31 Jul (Lusa) - East Timorese Nobel Peace Prize co-laureate Jose Ramos Horta said in Lisbon on Thursday that this week's withdrawal of 400 Indonesian soldiers from his home land would only have the necessary credibility if it had been submitted to an international verification process. Ramos Horta said the Indonesian troop withdrawal from East Timor lacked credibility since there was no proper international verification procedure. The Nobel Peace Prize winner also said that Indonesian had recently sent an additional 800 ''non-combatant'' military personnel to the occupied territory, a move he described as ''extraordinarily bad faith.''-Lusa nnnn
