		Baucau -- 132 km east of Dili -- the second largest city in the territory, was once the tourist hub of the former Portuguese colony.
		Such was the perceived tourism potential that in 1973 an Australian company, Thiess Holdings, unveiled plans for a joint venture for the construction of a four wing hotel, villas, a marina, golf course and a 175 sq kilometre zoo.
		An Australian tourist visiting Baucau at the time described crowds of East Timorese standing defiantly at the centre of town watching silently as Indonesian troops circled them in squads of six or seven, their M-16s levelled at the crowd.

	The Democratic Republic of Timor Leste: A new police service - a new beginning - Amnesty International (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The police response to violence in both Baucau and Dili demonstrated the weakness of chains of command and control, a lack of discipline and the fact that the PNTL are neither properly trained nor equipped to respond effectively to public disturbances in accordance with international human rights standards.
		Even under less pressured situations than those experienced in Baucau and Dili in November and December 2002 respectively, and in Ermera in January 2003, the risk of human rights violations taking place is amongst the highest where force and firearms are used and during arrest and detention.
		Moreover, the high number of shots fired during the Baucau incidents on 18 and 25 November (160 and up to 300 rounds respectively) suggest that they were not being used merely, or even, to attract attention, but rather as a form of crowd control to scare protestors into dispersing.

		The UN spokeswoman in Dili, Ms Barbara Reis, said that late on Wednesday a mob in the town of Baucau torched a mosque, stoned two UN vehicles, burnt a third one and set up barricades of burning tyres before stoning UN riot police near the central market.
		She said it was too early to tell if the Baucau violence was linked to the arrests of the three men, members of the fringe political party RDTL - Democratic Republic of Timor Leste (East Timor) - over threats to Mr Gusmao.
		It has strong roots in Baucau, and has been linked to a string of violent incidents including recent mob violence in Dili directed against Portuguese riot police and ugly clashes involving knife fights against political rivals near Suai last year.

		Both pre and post-independence there have been a series of violent disturbances in the district.(13) The causes are various, but most have their roots in rivalries between local groups or individuals which in turn often result from historical tensions dating back to the Indonesian occupation and before.
		The killings and injuries caused by police Dili and Baucau were tragic illustrations of the danger of a situation where a police service which is armed, but not adequately trained or supported, is faced with violent protestors.
