[news] Haiti: The Gaza Strip of the Caribbean

by Shirley Pate | ZNet | July 20, 2005 "Two helicopters flew overhead. At 4:30 AM, UN forces launched the offensive, shooting into houses, shacks, a church, and a school with machine guns, tank fire, and tear gas. Eyewitnesses reported that when people fled to escape the tear gas, UN troops gunned them down from the back."
