UNITED NATIONS, Nov. 13 (UPI) -- The United Nations says there are no new leads in the search to find those behind last week's killing of two Jordanian peacekeepers in Haiti.
Armed assailants shot the soldiers as they rode in a truck Friday evening
at a Port-au-Prince airport, the U.N. Stabilization Mission in Haiti,
known by its French acronym MINUSTAH, said in a statement Sunday. The
soldiers later succumbed to their wounds.
Jean-Jacques Simon, public information officer for MINUSTAH, told
United Press International by telephone he was unsure about when the United Nations would conclude an investigation of the slayings. The Haitian
national police are also conducting an internal inquiry into the matter.
Since the mission started in June 2004, 14 peacekeepers have died. Nine were
killed in action and five died as a result of separate incidents,
ranging from vehicle accidents to heart attacks, said Simon.
