Supporters of slain rebel leader Alfredo Reinado applaud him during his funeral in Dili February 14, 2008. Reinado might have wanted to kidnap the president and kill the prime minister in a bid to oust foreign troops and force a snap election, a confidant told Reuters on Thursday. Fugitive army major Reinado and one of his followers died during the attack on President Jose Ramos-Horta's house in Dili on Monday. Ramos-Horta, 58, and a government soldier were critically wounded in the gunfight. REUTERS/Beawiharta (EAST TIMOR)
