[The five were Malcolm Rennie, Greg Shackleton, Gary Cunningham, Brian Peters and Tony Stewart] Australian police have launched a war crimes investigation into the deaths in East Timor in 1975 of the "Balibo Five" group of journalists. In 2007, an Australian coroner found that they were executed by Indonesian special forces in the town of Balibo. It is believed they were killed to stop them revealing details of an impending Indonesian invasion of East Timor. Indonesia maintains the men were killed in crossfire. An official said Jakarta had no intention of reopening the case. Successive Australian governments have accepted Indonesia's version of events. In June, East Timor President Jose Ramos Horta - a Timorese resistance commander at the time - accused Indonesian soldiers of having tortured and deliberately killed the journalists. "Allegations of war crimes committed overseas give rise to complex legal and factual issues that require careful consideration by law enforcement agencies before deciding to investigate," the Australian Federal Police (AFP) said in a statement.
