All have their stories of indiscriminate Portuguese brutality. Pedro Neves, 30, took a bullet in the leg when two Portuguese army planes strafed his village of Tumbi. Twelve-year-old Andre Destino's village of Boa Nuta was first strafed, then raided by troops in trucks. They shot and killed his father and brother, left him for dead with his left buttock shot away.
