COUP ATTEMPT IN EAST TIMOR

Gunmen fired at both Xanana Gusmao, and Jose Ramos-Horta in a coordinated attack. Horta is in critical condition in an Australian hospital. These are two very tough men who fought the occupation of East Timor by the Indonesian military from 1975 to 1999. I once interviewed Horta myself in 1999. The latest news is that he is in critical condition. I’m appalled.
