Reinado argues that only the president, a critic of Alkatiri, haspower under the Constitution to fire him. Gusmao's office on Fridayacknowledged that Reinado was still part of the national defense force and that Alkatiri's dismissal of him had been overruled.

Associated Press writers Tanalee Smith and Guido Gulliart contributedto this report from Dili.
In this report by ABC AM with Tony Eastley, however, Alfredo has admitted to some responsibility over the crisis. When asked if he feels "personally responsible for the plight of your fellow countrymen and women", Alfredo said "I do, I do feel that. That's why I'm trying so hard to find solution, to get things back in normal."
Well Alfredo. This is only the beginning. You have plunged the whole country into instability, caused the death of tens of people, destroyed tens of thousands of people's lives, and set the country many years back. I think one of your first task is to convince the IDPs in Dili that they can go home now because you have handed your weapons and you are willing to cooperate with the authorities, with the democratically elected government of Timor-Leste, and that peace and democratic processes are the only means to change government. You must also tell the people of Timor-Leste that you have wronged and you are ready to face international investigation. You must also admit that you have shamed the military uniform which you are wearing now. You should hand that uniform in along with your weapons.

Alfredo Reinaldo and his following should be arressted, charged and commited for the murders of innocent people and for the devastation that he has created. He and his following have brought violence and created terror in the eyes and minds of the East Timorese people.
He has not only shamed the military uniform but he has also shamed the East Timoreses flag and what it stands for!!
