Timor's unpredictable rebel
Rebel soldier Alfredo Reinado is young, Australian trained, armed and ready for a fight. From a mountain hideout (where he says he can order pizza and cappuccino) he challenges and mocks East Timorese President Ramos Horta and the government, saying he will die rather than submit himself to the current Timorese justice system. Reporter Chris Bullock met and interviewed Alfredo Reinado in October. Now there is mounting pressure on Alfredo to surrender, and on the government to bring him in, with his criminal trial on charges of murder, attempted murder and revolt scheduled for court this week.
