Brutality, Virtual Bombs & U-Boats
Indonesian immigration officials yesterday freed 29 foreigners, including 18 Australians, who were detained at an international conference in Jakarta, as criticisms grew of police-sanctioned brutality against the organisers.
A virtual bomb was lobbed on the sleepy town of Texas on the NSW and Queensland border. It sat undiscovered until Mr John Beale, owner of the Lilyvale Estate winery, logged on to update his Web site on Friday.
Two oil companies on Friday announced another big discovery in the Gulf of Mexico — but this time it was a sunken World War II German submarine rather than oil or natural gas. The wreckage of the U-boat was found 5,000 feet below the surface, and it may may rewrite a bit of wartime history.
