Media Latest Target of Political Violence
From Times Wire Reports
Gunmen opened fire on Haiti’s television station and journalists received death threats, making the media the latest target in a week of rising political violence.

The attacks seem linked to the weekend arrest of 20 ex-soldiers accused of plotting to attack the presidential palace.
