East Timor president returns home
17/4/08
East Timor’s president has toughened his stance on rebels who tried to kill him after thousands of supporters gathered to welcome him home. Security was tight as Jose Ramos-Horta was greeted by a military parade at the airport in the capital, Dili, on Thursday. Returning from more than two months of medical treatment in Australia following the assassination attempt in February, he was greeted by thousands of people shouting “Viva President Ramos-Horta”. Huge posters saying “Mr President, Timor is praying and waiting for you” dotted the route to his house near a tourist beach in the eastern part of Dili
