HAITI . . . GRENADE KILLS THREE, SPARKS UPROAR
Hundreds of Haitians fled a square in Port-au-Prince after a grenade was lobbed into a crowd of pro-democracy demonstrators, killing three people and wounding at least 31. Then U.S. soldiers and military police sped to investigate, and detained three men. When the troops left, the Haitians looted a warehouse of everything from concrete and wood fuel, and even ripped windows out of their frames. The incident set off angry chants across town by marchers who blamed pro-army gunmen. Some supporters of ousted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide also warned they wouldn't wait for military junta leader Lieut. General Raoul Cedras to step down Oct. 15. Their threat: violence against the regime and its enforcers.
