Attack by Lenka Lehenova

Although people try to reduce violence, our world is still full of it. I always watch news where I see like people kill each other. That is really tearful. Sometimes they don't have reason...but I think that there can be any reason but nobody can kill or hurt anybody! Jose Ramos-Horta is President of East Timor. His health was in criticality after attack on Monday. Today he is in stable condition at an Australian hospital where he has been surgeons operated for three hours. In 1996 President won Nobel Peace Prize for his nonviolent resistance to the decades-long Indonesian occupation. Gunmen in two cars shot him in the chest and stomach. Rebel soldiers went to the house looking for him but they found out that president was on the walk and that's where he had been shot two or three times. Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao has been separately attacked an hour later as well but he escaped unhurt. At the moment, he and his family is in army's safeness. Assassin is Alfredo Reinado who together with his accomplice died when security forces were intervening. Reinado escaped from prison in 2006 and was charged with murder in connection with the 2006 violence. Ramos-Horta had met with Reinado on several occasions and wanted to persuade him to surrender. Prime Minister Gusmao asked for calm in the streets and appealed to people to stay at home. The United Nations controls security in the country.
