"Indonesia's health ministry says a 16-year-old girl has died of bird flu, bringing toll to 96 in the nation worst hit by the H5N1 virus.
The girl, from the satellite city of Bekasi outside the nation's capital, died while being treated at a Jakarta hospital after first being admitted with bird flu symptoms to a private hospital in her home district on January 4.
Two laboratory tests on the girl had already confirmed she was infected with the virus, making her the 117th person to test positive for the disease in Indonesia, a ministry bird flu centre spokesman said last week.
Two positive results from tests on blood and tissue samples from a victim are needed before Indonesian authorities confirm a bird flu infection.
Humans are typically infected with bird flu by coming into direct contact with infected poultry, but experts fear the H5N1 virus may mutate into a form easily transmissible between humans."

No final da mesma mensagem os prelados timorenses diziam: “Por último ousamos fazer um pedido aos habitantes do Pico e particularmente à família do Sr. Bispo D. Jaime Garcia Goulart. Logo que tivermos condições gostaríamos de trazer os restos mortais do Sr. D. Jaime para Timor Leste para repousar para sempre no meio deste povo e desta terra que ele tanto amou e pelo qual se sacrificou dando a melhor parte da sua vida.

Xanana: “I don’t want to have a war of words.”
Jornal Diario Nacional, Dili, 11 January 2008
On Being The Author of the 2006 Crisis
Prime Minister (PM) Kay Rala Xanana Gusmao said that he did not want a war of words regarding the Alfredo Reinado CD currently being disseminated throughout the community, which accuses him of being the author of the 2006 crisis and has lead to FRETILIN demands, because these things have legal implications.Xanana made these statements to journalists at the Presidential Palace in Caicoli, Dili on Thursday (10/1) after the weekly meeting with the President of the Republic, when he was questioned by journalists about the CD.
“I have read the statement and communiqué by FRETILIN regarding this CD, but I do not want to respond to this issue because there are legal implications and I do not want to engage in a war of words. Let whoever wants to scream about it scream,” said Xanana Gusmao.
The former head of state highlighted that he did not want to give any notice to the CD and the statements by FRETILIN, not because he was scared that he had engaged in any wrong doing but sees the issue as irrelevant.“I am not giving any attention not because I am scared I have done anything wrong, but I am not paying any attention because I see it as very irrelevant.
If someone falls over there but is not hurt, what would I be doing going over to embrace him?” pointed out Xanana.The former resistance leader further declared that had already seen the CD that is currently being disseminated, as have other people, but he does not want to judge himself, but the people will decide.“I can say to you (journalists) that I have received the CD, I have seen it, and perhaps all of you have also seen it already. I do not want to judge myself.
You see for yourselves. Let it be; I will not speak about the CD because I have no knowledge of it, I have only heard about it because people have spoken to me saying let it be. Sometimes I pass by some place and people might scream out insults at me, but they do not have the CD,” said the Head of Government.
Responding to questions from journalists as to whether the government will continue with its commitment to hold dialog with Alfredo Reinado and the petitioners, Xanana Gusmao said that they would still be making contacts to resolve the issue through dialog to show the government’s commitment to solve the problem through dialog.
“We will continue with contacts to resolve the problem with dialog, as will the President of the Republic will continue also. I already said to you that I went to Aileu having heard before going there that people would not be going, but I went anyway to show the government’s commitment.
On 21 December, I came to the Presidential Palace. Before coming here I also already knew that he would not be coming but I came just the same,” said Xanana Gusmao.
NOT AFFECTED
On the same occasion when asked about the declaration by the Movement for National Unity and Justice (MUNJ) of their withdrawal from the government Task Force established to solve the case of the petitioners and Alfredo Reinado because they considered the statements made by the Secretary of State for Security that Alfredo and the petitioners are no longer military but civilians and that such statements are contrary to the Task Force’s terms of reference, Xanana Gusmao replied that MUNJ’s withdrawal will not affect the dialog that the government is committed to undertaking in seeking to resolve the case of Alfredo and the petitioners.
