A deadly gun battle tore through the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince yesterday as police fought heavily-armed men suspected of assassinating the country’s president in the early hours of Wednesday. Haitian officials said last night that four suspects were killed, six arrested and two more are still at large. They believe two Haitian Americans are among those arrested, including James Solages, a former bodyguard at the Canadian embassy in Port-au-Prince. Reportedly pretending to be U.S. drug enforcement agents, the gunmen had burst into the home of President Jovenel Moise and riddled him with bullets, seriously injuring his wife. A diplomat described the assassins as ‘well-trained professionals, killers, commandos’.
