Very straight bat from the SMH with this story about the incident in East Timor which left the Prime Minister wounded and Alfredo Reinado dead.
East Timorese rebel leader Alfredo Reinado was involved in 47 telephone calls to or from Australia in the hours before he was shot dead at the home of the country's president, Jose Ramos-Horta, investigators have found. Authorities in Dili want Australian agencies to tell them the names of the telephone subscribers, Fairfax has reported.
The investigators are focusing their inquiries on calls Reinado and his men made before and after the attacks in Dili on February 11. They also want Australian intelligence agencies to send them any telephone conversations they recorded that relate to the attacks on Mr Ramos-Horta and East Timor's Prime Minister, Xanana Gusmao. East Timor's Prosecutor-General, Longuinhos Monteiro, who heads the investigation, told Fairfax on Monday he had been unable to establish the identities of the subscribers in Australia.
Another East Timor story from The Age - Timor rebels deny assassination plot.
In Darwin, Mr Ramos Horta told CNN there was "increasing evidence pointing a finger at external elements" that were supporting Reinado. "These are elements interested in destabilising East Timor, plunging it into an endless civil war so it could be declared a failed state," he said.
