Australia Probes 1975 Murder of Journalists

2007-02-12

Nearly 31 years after their deaths, the Australian government is finally looking into the murder of five journalists in East Timor. The journalists went missing in October 1975 after Indonesian troops invaded the country. Journalists and government insiders have long claimed that successive Australian governments have covered up the real story of what actually happened to the journalists. As Erica Vowles reports, some see the inquest as a reminder of Australia's willingness to side with Indonesian interests, despite the country’s record of human rights abuses.
