SYDNEY, Feb 11 (Reuters) - East Timor President Jose Ramos-Horta, who was shot in the stomach on Monday by rebel soldiers at his home in Dili, was on life support under an induced coma, said an Australian medical spokesman.

"He is in a critical condition on full life support, with a ventilator for breathing, and under an induced coma," said a spokesman for CareFlight medical evacuation organisation, after Ramos-Horta landed in Darwin for medical treatment. (Reporting by Michael Perry, editing by James Regan)
