Jordanian peacekeeper shot dead in Haiti
A Jordanian soldier with the UN force in Haiti has been shot dead, a source close to the Jordanian contingent said, amid growing fears that the country’s elections will have to be delayed again. The soldier was shot in the head while on patrol Saturday in the huge Cite Soleil shantytown in the Haitian capital, the source said. There has been renewed violence in Port-au-Prince ahead of the first round of presidential and legislative elections due to be held on January 8. The elections will be the first since Jean Bertrand Aristide quit as president and fled the country following a popular uprising in February 2004.Full Story
