The recent failed assassination of President Ramos-Horta is shrouded in mystery. Killed that same day outside Horta's home was rebel leader Alfredo Reinado.
Alfredo Reinado is a former army major of Timor-Leste's defence force, the F-FDTL. In mid 2006 he mutinied and began a campaign of terror against Timor-Leste and its democratically elected government. Evidence has been mounting eversince that Reinado's actions araised from a conspiracy by the then president, Mr. Jose Alexandre Gusmao "Xanana" and his allies to topple the FRETILIN government. In this video Reinado reveals that the author of the violence was none other than Mr. Gusmao himself, who was recently appointed prime minister despite his own political party coming second at the national elections. This video has been shot by an annonymous film maker and is widely available Timor-Leste. The TVTL, the only television service and is run by the state and by Gusmao loyalists, has refused to air this video.
