Sydney, Feb. 12 : East Timor President and Nobel Peace Prize winner Jose Ramos-Horta will remain in an induced coma until at least Thursday, doctors at a Darwin hospital said on Tuesday evening.
They said that Ramos-Horta is in a serious but stable condition following Monday's assassination attempt in Dili, during which he was shot two or three times by rebel troops at his residence.
Surgeons operated on Dr. Ramos-Horta for up to three hours overnight to remove bullet fragments and repair his wounds.
Lakhi Sarai (Bihar), Feb 12 : Residents of Patna have come out on the streets to protest against a road accident that claimed one life.
Protesters set ablaze at least 12 trucks.
The small-time shopkeeper was returning to home on his cycle when the accident took place.
According to an eyewitness, the shopkeeper died on the spot after the speeding truck hit him.
Residents alleged that the authorities allowed the truck to enter the 'no-entry’ zone for heavy vehicles.
"He was heading back home after closing his shop in the evening. He was walking on a side of the road when the truck came and trampled him to death. The entry to heavy vehicles is allowed only after 9 p. m., but this truck was allowed at 6 p. m. itself," said Sanjay Kumar, an eyewitness.
