UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The U.N. Security Council on Monday condemned the recent attacks on East Timor's leaders and urged all parties in the troubled nation to consolidate peace, democracy and the rule of law.
In a resolution extending the mandate of the U.N. mission in East Timor for a year, the council said "the political, security, social and humanitarian situation in East Timor remains fragile."
It called for national reconciliation following rebel attacks earlier this month on President Jose Ramos-Horta, who was critically injured, and Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao, who escaped unhurt.
