East Timor deports scores of Muslims
Wednesday 01 December 2004, 15:27 Makka Time, 12:27 GMT
East Timor has deported 184 Muslims to neighbouring Indonesia, part of a group of 250 people originally detained for living illegally near the capital's only mosque.
The Timorese government completed the expulsions of the last few dozen Muslims on Wednesday - all of whom considered themselves East Timorese.
The deportees had lived in East Timor before it split from Indonesia during a bloody independence ballot five years ago.
The issue has struck a sensitive cord in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, where some local media have described the deportations as a move by predominantly Catholic East Timor against Islam.

Ze zullen daar in Oost-Timor binnen kort wel contact op nemen met Rita Verdonk neem ik aan.
Dit is natuurlijk een goede aanleiding voor Indonesie om humanitair in te grijpen in het buurland. Zolang ze de olierechten van Australie met rust laten, zal niemand er over klagen.
