World IN BRIEF : HAITI : Isolation Grows as U.S. Flights End

Haiti watched its international isolation grow as flights between the island nation and the United States came to a halt. The ban on commercial flights, which went into effect Saturday morning, is the Clinton Administration’s latest attempt to dislodge the military and restore ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. The last U.S. plane out of Haiti was American Airlines Flight 658, which left Port-au-Prince for New York at 5:30 p.m. Friday. A Haiti Trans-Air flight left for Miami at 6:30 p.m. U.S. Ambassador William Swing escorted 40 Haitians awarded asylum onto the final American flight.
