Rebels sought in E Timor attacks ... in East Timor say a group of rebels involved in attacks on the country's president and prime minister has surrendered to authorities.
They said rebel commander Gastao Salsinha and 12 of his men have turned themselves in and handed over weapons and ammunition. Salsinha took over command of the group after his predecessor, Alfredo Reinado, was killed in a February attack on President Jose Ramos-Horta. Ramos-Horta nearly died in the attack, while Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao escaped unharmed from a separate ambush of his motorcade. East Timor has remained politically unstable since it won independence from Indonesia in 2002.
