For two hours the militia attacked independence supporters with M16 rifles, homemade grenades and pistols. Finally Indonesian police arrived, even though their headquarters were just down the road. People under attack begged the police to do something to stop the militia. One victim, Joaquim Bernardino Guterres, implored the police to help, but they told him and other independence supporters to just leave the premises. After Guterres wouldn't stop begging for help, the police turned against him--not the militia. Barefoot and armed only with two rocks, Guterres was beaten by the police before he broke free and ran. But 10 seconds later it was over. Guterres lay shot dead at the hands of an Indonesian police officer.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_M_hiyuJHlzw/Rse8MRp5GpI/AAAAAAAAALc/brbek6ItwaQ/s1600-h/7.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_M_hiyuJHlzw/Rse8MRp5GpI/AAAAAAAAALc/brbek6ItwaQ/s400/7.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5100252022103939730" /></a><br />World Press Photo's 2000<br />Copyright: John Stanmeyer/SABA for Time<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />AABentlage's video shows clearly the role of an instigator/provocative agent shouting several times "provocator" before the killing of Joaquim.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><object width="425" height="350"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SvjlXOcY5lg"> </param> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/SvjlXOcY5lg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"> </embed> </object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/239294854733910682-8761828458335406618?l=timorlestetv.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Andre Bentlagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10867505993776980466noreply@blogger.com27tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239294854733910682.post-31897401603777752012007-08-17T04:28:00.000+09:002007-08-19T12:39:36.633+09:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_M_hiyuJHlzw/Rse7ZBp5GmI/AAAAAAAAALE/_e983Kl41ZA/s1600-h/Falintil.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_M_hiyuJHlzw/Rse7ZBp5GmI/AAAAAAAAALE/_e983Kl41ZA/s400/Falintil.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5100251141635644002" /></a><br />Falintil Commander Taur Matan Ruak<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/239294854733910682-3189740160377775201?l=timorlestetv.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Andre Bentlagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10867505993776980466noreply@blogger.com0
