Dili : A government commission and this country’s armed forces probe Wednesday details of an attempt coup that almost killed President Jose Ramos Horta February 11.
According to Timor Leste Defense Forces’ General Staff chief Gen.
Taur Matan Ruak, the investigating group is made up of three soldiers and two executive representatives.
The top military chief told press that conclusions of inquiries will be revealed in two weeks.
The situation in the small south Asian country is under the control of authorities. The UN peacekeeping forces commanded and now stepped up by Australia patrol the streets and guard official installments.
Horta Ramos is still recovering in the Australian Darwin Royal Hospital, physicians from the institution stated.
Prime Minister Hanana Gusmao, object of a second attack almost parallel to that of the head of State with no victims, requested from Camberra the sending of additional reinforcements.
The issue of the UN peacekeeping forces has been standing out in the last analysis of those facts.
General Taur Matan told journalists that those troops combined with the national police were in charge of Ramos Horta’s security, and he wondered how two cars with armed men could have arrived until the presidential residence.
An exhaustive international investigation of those facts has been demanded by the Timor Leste general.
