            East Timor descends into chaos

A Timorese man rests on sacks of rice after helping to distribute them from a World Food Program warehouse to families in the East Timor capital of Dili May 29, 2006. East Timor's government met for crisis talks on Monday as foreign troops patrolled a tense but largely peaceful capital after a weekend of violence by gangs allied to feuding factions of the country's armed forces.
