PICTURES OF THE YEAR 2006 Feuding mobs, armed with machetes and other hand weapons, give chase to rivals in the East Timor capital of Dili May 30, 2006. East Timor's beleaguered government was due to meet for a second day of crisis talks on Tuesday as youth gangs loosely allied to feuding factions of the armed forces defied international peacekeepers and torched cars and buildings in the capital.
