Xanana Gusmão reclama controlo da segurança em Timor

East Timor president takes over security

President Xanana Gusmao's declaration that he was taking sole control of security was seen as an attempt to break a political deadlock that has paralyzed the government and may have helped fueled deadly violence.

The announcement came after two days of wrangling with Prime Minister Mari Alkatiri, leader of the ruling party.
