 SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - East Timor President Jose Ramos-Horta said a tearful farewell Wednesday to hospital staff who treated him in northern Australia for five weeks following his severe wounding in an assassination attempt at home.
Ramos-Horta said he expects to remain in Australia "for a few more weeks" for therapy.
The Nobel Peace laureate, who was treated at two Darwin hospitals following the Feb. 11 shooting, gave the doctors and nurses at Royal Darwin Hospital a gift of Timorese coffee before he was discharged Wednesday.
