Situasi Terkini Timor Leste (bagian 3)
President Jose Ramos Horta was shot this morning. His house and Prime Minister Xanana house were attacked early this morning. Xanana is okay and his driver was injured from the glass debris due to the shot.
The president was shot in his stomach and brought to the Australian military hospital. His condition was stabilized and the bullet was successfully taken out. He was flown to Darwin for further medical treatment. It’s also reported that Alfredo Reinaldo, the renegade and former military police commander was shot dead. But it’s not still clear yet. It seemed that there was an attack toward President and Prime Minister. This afternoon, the Prime Minister already appeared in the television and not mentioning about who is attacking. The Fretilin already made press release that they condemned the attack. The helicopters were flying around in Dilli to see the condition. When I was writing this, the situation is calm, no helicopter flying around. From our JRS staff whom I told to return home, I got the information that the people hanging outside the house, most of the activity is normal with high cautious and the airport is opened.
