East Timor president shot at home
2008-02-11
The president of East Timor. Jose Ramos-Horta, has been injured by gunfire during an attack on his home, an army spokesman says.

A renegade soldier, Alfredo Reinado, was shot dead by the president's guards. The president was reportedly shot in the stomach. Last November, Reinado had threatened to use force against the government. He had been indicted for his alleged role in fighting between rebel troops and police in 2006.

#1  Jose Ramos-Horta is the one East Timorese politician I respect and admire the most. I hope he recovers.
I don't know what it's got to do with Sri Lanka though.
