Days before foreign peacekeepers arrived, journalist David O'Shea travelled to East Timor to chronicle its descent into chaos. His frontline report reveals what's really happening there.

"Watch out for grenades. They're using the grenade launcher!", warns rebel leader and former police chief Alfredo Reinaldo, as government forces opened fire on them. First the army splintered after Prime Minister Mari Alkatiri sacked a third of the force for complaining about discrimination. Then Reinaldo's defection led to the police fracturing. The hope is that foreign peacekeepers will restore order but reuniting the country behind the government may prove much harder. As one woman states: "we need good leaders to govern this country otherwise these things will continue."

Following the death of rebel leader Alfredo Reinado during a failed coup we bring back an exclusive interview and profile of him. In it, he explains why he turned against the government.
Reinado was the respected police commander who turned into East Timor's most wanted man. When security forces shot dead anti-government protestors last March, Reinado attacked rival troops. "I had to get out there and stop them", he reasons. "I had to defend the people". Claiming he would never receive a fair trial, he went on the run.

The recent failed assassination of President Ramos-Horta is shrouded in mystery. Killed that same day outside Horta's home was rebel leader Alfredo Reinado. His lover, Angelita Pires, is speciously blamed, possibly used as a scapegoat by more sinister forces.
