Three diverse experts who have an insider's knowlege of Timor Leste talk about the recent shooting of TL President Jose Ramos Horta. Bob Boughton, and academic activist who has made frequent trips to TL thinks rebel Reinado's desperate gambit is 'Blowback' from the events of 2006. Politician Janelle Saffin recalls her three years working as an adviser to Jose Ramos Horta, while Jim Dunn, retired diplomat and long time Human Rights activist for Timor Leste sees rebel Reinados swoop on the President's residence as a failed kidnap attempt to force negotiations; an attempt that went tragically wrong. The true account of the events of February 11 2008 continues to unfold.
