UN invites all heads of state to East Timor's independence day

The United Nations says it has invited the heads of state or government of all its 189 member states to East Timor's independence ceremony on May the 20th.

A U-N spokeswoman says letters have been sent out from Secretary General, Kofi Annan.

East Timor has been under U-N administration since October 1999, after militias opposed to independence from Jakarta's rule, went on a rampage in the territory.
