DILI, East Timor (AP) - Rival gangs armed with machetes and stones fought in East Timor's capital late Thursday, injuring at least 13 people, witnesses and officials said. Hundreds of youths took part in the fighting in front of Guido Valadares Hospital, an Associated Press reporter at the scene said.

A hospital staffer, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information, said that 13 people were being treated and two had serious injuries.

East Timor was plunged into crisis in May when rival security forces battled in Dili's streets, later spilling into gang warfare, looting and arson that left 30 people dead and sent nearly 150,000 fleeing from their homes.

A new government was installed last month, which along with the presence of foreign troops led by a contingent of Australian soldiers, has largely eased tensions.

Sporadic gang fights have continued and tens of thousands of people still live in refugee camps, either too scared to return home or unable to do so because their houses were destroyed in the turmoil.

Only peaceful individuals can make a peaceful world. Maharishi's Programme to Create World Peace is based on creating peace and harmony within individuals by opening their awareness to the field of infinite peace located deep within the mind of everyone, and radiating that influence of peace into the environment. Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation provides the mechanics to permeate all time and all space values with harmony, with evenness of higher intelligence.
