| Gunfire echoed through the streets of Port-Au-Prince on Thursday as supporters of ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide battled police whom residents have accused of executing at least 13 people two days earlier. The charred carcasses of vehicles blocked a main road of the capital and in some slum neighborhoods, residents locked their doors as pro-Aristide militants shot at police from behind the wreckage. It was unclear if anyone was wounded or killed in Thursday's violence. But along Port-au-Prince's seaside road, gunfire was reported and people told a radio station that four people were killed by armed civilians. The reports could not be independently confirmed. |
