9:09 am
to stay with us or to separate as friends and build good leaper. it was a huge story that my husband andrei and i were keen to be covering. shortly before referendum day we went to a fun until camp in the jungle. it was an extraordinary experience especially to me to guerrilla commander. who shared his thoughts with us then thoughts that he still believes in today. as up i meant. by a contract rapid or mental muscle or some yes all or some past the settlement or offend in the court or on a dilute the no i don't know what appalled. he may know moment the grounds of in
9:10 am
the gutter on the scale as perso as investors in the the in the kill example are there. and they didn't lose the struggle the east timorese voted overwhelmingly for independence. things have become even more dangerous however in the run up to the vote the indonesian military and the crow illusion militias they have formed and become increasingly violent. they no longer considered us to be observer of us they found that journalists were on the side of the east timorese and it was so stuck in our minds that we became a talking to. me coming. here the boys. if is a good. thing. there. are right there out in osprey's. who are in the military denied involvement in the
9:11 am

9:13 am
cover the story from a far back in shock after. gian and the e.b.u. meanwhile found a way to get journalists back to dili as soon as a strain in peacekeepers arrive word got out that the european broadcasting your new maybe you had charted an aircraft and they managed to get approvals to land an aircraft in dili. once the airport had been secured because we knew the wind was coming in we set up a table and a full sight of the mandarin oriental hotel we just showed up put their names and their contact details and pay for them out of this one way trip to east timor come to the mandarin oriental hotel poolside will be someone there to meet you the cost is that i think a thousand u.s. dollars for this one way trip you're not coming back you get on that aircraft you're getting off at the other end so it was that ships at all. even you would i

describe myself like i really like pay this much money just like ticket to hell one way ticket to hell and then the last of us showed up with his friend. start a conversation friendly. he struck me as a very friendly warm up kind of person i want to be all i want to eat that. ok sure. janice name. your boys from europe yeah they speak very fluent in bahasa. oh ok so. they were standard phones very friendly very. interactive and from what i remembered we just met there never met him before never knew him before and he just like. everyone clicked with sam he was that kind of man
9:15 am
young smart. he and i were part of a small group of dutch journalist based in jakarta friends who shared stories and travel around the country we loved so much time there was the financial times correspondent and was unlikely as me to become a war correspondent so quickly i need to understand more about the people who killed him. these are the remains of battalion seven four five the compound where they were based but also where they started their bloody retreat. people were very very much afraid of seven four five in the last pylos they know that these soldiers. were pretty violent. going to. be the. america.
9:16 am
this was also not the only camp they had many more in this in this little town basically this town was dominated by seven four five. the people here were always reminded of the indonesian presence because of this this battalion. you can actually see seven four five seven. for. find. it still here. they try to remove it but it didn't really work. the edible medical kit that was a big deal my dad and jan and documented so badly that oh but the one they own the one with the thing that's with us that was at indonesia i got it down at something else and they will listen to it that way at that and they're going to need. yacub though unlikely that they'll get on the ticket if you show them a goblin but on
9:17 am
a low caliber alum referendum at a cost mile and when they come by and of the moment of seeing your engine and their guide those are the last caliber alarms other than that but if i come i could just ask i've got an imbalance in the back of say more than one and i had to maintain a share. mamoun what i had then mimics i can lay a shop i am english air. on the morning of september nineteenth one thousand nine hundred ninety the talian seven four five departed los palos and embark on the trail of murder. as they began withdrawal they headed. towards the beach at. the departure point of the battalion most of the soldiers left east timor back to
9:18 am
indonesia right here. and the supply route for them kept their main supply. they didn't want anyone to have any profit from those supply so they destroyed everything. and it was a group of one hundred twenty members not allowed to go on the boats but they had to go back to indonesia and they had to bring back the vehicles so sixty trucks and thirty motorbikes. from here and one in fourteen destroy and kill everything you find on your way. to.
9:19 am
an italian members who hadn't set sail those charts which were turning to come for you to indonesia. in lao to for the night. they left early on the morning of september twentieth the orange glow of everything that had satellite filling this guy. their route was now to the west following the coastal road along the northern shore of east timor towards laga once there they came down for another night at one of their supply base. on the morning of september twenty first one thousand nine hundred nine. with our tickets bought at the man from g.e. on order the e.b.u. flight in jakarta eager to return to the east timor forced to leave but nervous and scared but what we would fight. for cites from the plane
9:20 am
confirmed all worst fears destruction on a scale you could not even have imagined you ready dos also one of the hardest stories would have to cover. at the same time as we had set off on a journey to help the soldiers of battalion seven four five ready themselves for day a departure from lag on a journey of a very different intent. what was to become a very dark day began here with a day that would affect so many families not only in east timor. having set their base alight with a talian departed towards daily and began a pattern of violence that would continue for the rest of the day but. it wasn't long before the battalion met their first victims that morning. within ten minutes
9:21 am
of leaving the base they came across two men on a motorcycle unfortunate enough to be on the same stretch of road at the same time it says two man were killed here by the indonesian military. twenty first. of so come september one thousand and one. and i know these two guys or two brothers their names were gus and. unbeknown to the battalion the actions were witnessed by seeing me up into a. moment and land at a stand for some. it does make. the qualities do but the bodies. and their less of them to give it because i don't know that then i think if you look. at their own battle isn't my and that doesn't stand. them develop a bad news headline in my head that most don't want to come i had

9:35 am
from that day. this is the first time that our free turned in one thousand nine hundred nine and it's only partially familiar i've come back to independent east timor many times i have avoided the nunnery for fourteen years. i really very strongly remember how afraid we were when we were staying here that what we thought it would be a lot safer before we actually went to the lead and we experience when we actually got here it was very unpredictable very eerie. you know the gunshots fires we did we just didn't know we had we had no idea where we had to look out for. we thought that the indonesians would have left but many of them were still here. but there was no time for fear we were all here to work and that's what we did our story that day was right across the road from the convent where thousands were crammed together on the beach looking for safety going

9:38 am
there were about thirty or forty. men on motorbikes along. similar. to the sort of them up to. one of the first scenes it it was they attacked my driver i want some of them marked i'm up something in. the last. bus. one of them just took his rifle and bashed his eye out with the rifle but. i just saw it. coming down his face like a. snake ready it was just like a break a neck just hanging down that on his cheek. to sleep through to those who spoke with what dog or there was suspicion very suspicious of him because he was with two western as i said. i'm in a car you could to get by but it's. goes down good luck it's.
9:39 am
my cross and i demoed with. we were ordered back into the vehicle and the driver with his eye still hanging out was ordered to drive the car down the hill. get a bag of mine essential a mobile they had said to my thank you mark good to spare my supper was a while when we would get me something. well up. to the motorbikes swept and stopped in front of us so we couldn't talk to them don't. we couldn't go any further. sell us out to. supper it doesn't look but it was all about money yes i was up to come on down below the dose of it i love boom boom medical i did want to be the democrat it was a lot of them are better luck on tuesday that there are thumbs up to be our best buddies so the only two. i said to chip and to to ramos i said.
9:40 am
we've got to get out over that. last malarkey to the last lotus opened up the. buttercup them up to the scummy there was a lot of good. wallace who moved those. to. go up monasteries with the the leg and i don't mean they came off to us short which you can really look behind me just kept going as fast as we could we could and looking for cover. so that it was a lot of luck to them let us. suck it you. want us to start the rules. but. we didn't know ramos is gone he had just an idea where it was safe used to be and. you know he's he's an east timorese in that time he might have grown eyes that he was safe was beyond he's an arms baby to westerners who
9:41 am
took this terrible. episode of. john and chip it through didn't i'm sure of what had happened to any connect to unsigned. italian in the meantime continue on its bloody route of destruction. and getting. that out they and i see the people as they do or. say i'm up this is that it says that that guy that what they thought it though and then what and it. growing up in samoa a leg up and things out that. ballot model if i was on the thing you got out and if you could get that first ballot but i got a lot of americans who didn't get it or they did it with the unit. to mark this more than half a day and i say it's a given but that if it isn't giving the. goodness a lot of troops
9:42 am
a lot of troops. an id or a get on the wrong. it's about the knitting the most of it in a low that they've said. i'm not going to look at every said you know we've been nice and there's nothing but a couple of legs model but it was a. little something but you needed the medical last week with. him but i mean. he has got a lot of money with them but that's a bit of american history and almost. had almost everything else with a look at him or. the little guy that the lunatic and a mustache that obama got out of the doubt it will. give him a. little different idea. that. made his way to to respond to tell everyone he could what had happened.
9:43 am
we heard that sound that was missing so it was very confusing. my husband and ray was looking for him next door in the tourist motel while i was still working i had to keep working because i had deadlines and so it was like really. messed up because we were also really worried about our own safety i mean not much was standing lots of building still burning you could hear gunshots stores. very very time there we erase situation here. didn't feel left very safe. that told night out i spent here with my friends with colleagues trying to make phone calls like really you know trying to get through to anyone who would have any news about and. early the following morning
9:44 am
on dylan was one of the first journalist to find her out of the convent. the reason guy came up to me sort of talking he said i know where there's this step forward like we take you there. so then we had this long. thirty thirty plus minute walk out to the kora. and then off the left hand side of the road to a small gully looked up almost a driveway was senator talks. one on the side it was new it was a very unpleasant you know you get used to seeing bodies in repose if you like almost with a sense of sort of calm. but i didn't get that often i didn't get that sense. i got a sense of reaching. you know. the only thing i could do major wests. his
9:45 am
family his friends. fellow journalists. i could hear people crying in the corner. very real moment for everyone. could just as easily be anybody else in the nunnery that night. as the pot of stew pot. it's cool. that. i've let. you all work and up here by your friends and they burst into the room and
9:46 am
then the first thing they said yes we found. and of course that you know it and it went into a whirlwind of events. we cried together what are the trends trying to grasp what had happened meanwhile painful gruesome things had to be done. and this body which had finally been recovered by those trailing peacekeepers needed to be identified. my husband andrei help with this task an experience that really traumatized him. john swain and chip pious spend a night with in metres of sanders body without realising had been assisted back to delhi by peacekeeping forces the question was. what i'm touring us and what happened to ana tatar. with the rising of the sun we heard that a journalist are being killed for a nearby my immediate reaction was that he'd been killed by the same group that
9:47 am
attacked us it just made perfect sense don't you marry a photographer. agreed to take me back in his motorbike to. where the whole incident happened that i was going to try and find. ramos we got back to where they attack happened and the old battle taxi was still there with his windows all bashed out. tires flat from buttholes. bargains arm. for the food what about multiple. at the mall a said to somebody and suddenly there's a rustling in the bushes and romas is running up and his eyes don't you know do the ok. you have to have three on a motorbike. and so he was in the middle biomes around him get him studying. we decided to take him to the district. and the
9:48 am
military hospital is set up at video. at that moment the command of the australian forces general cosgrove right i turn to my grabbed him and said to general you know this is what happened. out of my drivers had his eye bashed up and he needs to urgent medical care. and he will theorize it was some sort of way and he turned to his men and he said to get this but on the first flight to dollywood. in a strain the essentials received emergency surgery and a sight in his remaining i will say. as for my interpreter and i clatter. of course it was a devastating thing to happen and. not something new to us or. not something to use a journalist i want to have to go through. anyway. our
9:49 am
readers who made inquiries about what happened to him and no one could give any real explanation. but later i learned that he had to them being taken with a group of other prisoners and paraded. up the army base. being beaten up and that was the last anyone ever saw of him. i suspect that any plato like so many of us with ultimately taken to jack that not the capital city of indonesia but to a cliff south of delhi and then troll now. gleeful cynically named by the indonesians because the families of victims taken their toll that it was to jakarta and their loved ones had flats. i think this journey is for me. looking for some kind of closure and i'm not really sure closing what exactly. the idea when you are late but early on partly my luck to mark a spot. where your prosecutions are. underway at the
9:50 am
men's hockey table you're blind to much barnett's a great time of the messiah and upwards are you to the remaining go. i get up each day what i said before it will you could you know we got up to. police investigation shows that sandra was most probably still alive and the soldiers picked up his body and directed of the room. that brought him to a piece of scrap and behind the house in shock. the liberty in the back. by the time his body was found his face had been mutilated beyond recognition. probably by his murderous. be. by a by a muscle seven job or. open set it up like to do this at our last set of my.
9:51 am
daughter. so i think that it will stop a. young fella killing. a mummy my. guest must allow recall but i'll put up by this idea. a lot so i hung up a bit of muscle are we are. let's we're getting a side. so does mark the have you ever felt responsible for what happened in east timor. that is one of the always is say i told you many many know. this is over youse on the. lads made it up but i'm a jackal. and little girl for a record man she lives lost and the old now is all on the proceeds it's all of the four that. i always thought they're just going to chase us away to make us they want to make us scared they don't want any witnesses. to see you know the plan they
9:52 am
