Three Aussie soldiers have been injured in East Timor when thier vehicle rolled down a 15 meter embankment. Thier condition is not yet fully reported but not thought to be life threatening. We will keep our fingers crossed.
I just wondered if East Timor was ever mentioned in UK news ? Australia helped them to gain independence from Indonesia a few years back after indonesia 'annexed' them over twenty years ago.
