"We profile East Timor's elusive former Military Police Head. Reinado has been a fugitive since last August when he escaped from prison. He had been accused of attempted murder during the rioting which broke out in Dili last May.

Australian military negotiators spent months trying to persuade Reinado and his armed supporters to surrender.

But when Reinado's forces took automatic weapons and ammunition from a border post last month the East Timor government, supported by President Xanana Gusmao, asked the Australian forces to capture the renegade officer.

President Gusmao also speaks about the Reinado affair, dismissing his excuse that border police gave him weapons to protect the people from government-backed militias." journeymanpictures
