Ramos Horta attacks silence over shooter
24/5/08
East Timor President Jose Ramos Horta said no foreign elements were involved in an assassination attempt against him but criticised Australia’s silence on a bank account held by his slain attacker. In an interview in Sin-gapore, Ramos Horta also asked why the Australian police failed to question some Timor-born Australians who were in East Timor before the attack in February and immediately fled to Australia after the shooting. The 58-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner suffered multiple gunshot wounds in the February 11 attack on his residence led by rebel leader Alfredo Reinado and required life-saving surgery in Australia.
