Four young men were executed in a Port-au-Prince neighbourhood in Haiti by men witnesses identified as police officers. The killings took place in a busy intersection of Bel Air.
"Six police cars came up here with about 15 officers," said Jean Yves, one of the witnesses. "They took the men out of the cars, put them on the ground, and shot them in the head."
Other residents confirmed Yves' account as bursts of automatic-weapons fire sounded nearby, evidence of continued fighting between the police and loyalists of deposed President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who was forced to step down in February 2004.
