World IN BRIEF : HAITI : U.N. OKs Force to Monitor Transition
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The U.N. Security Council voted to send 1,267 police and military advisers, including about 500 uniformed Americans, to help stabilize Haiti as it awaits the return Oct. 30 of ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. The action follows a series of bloody attacks on Aristide supporters by gunmen backing the military regime, threatening the U.N.-sponsored effort to restore Aristide to power. Most of the U.S. troops will be Navy engineers who will train the Haitian army in road building and civic action.
