PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) - U.N. peacekeepers and Haitian police on Tuesday killed a suspected gang leader wanted in the kidnap-slaying of a French businessman.
Charles Junior Acdelhy was shot to death after he opened fire on Brazilian peacekeepers and police as they tried to arrest him during an early morning raid in Port-au-Prince's notorious Cite Soleil slum, U.N. spokeswoman Sophie Boutaud de la Combe said. No peacekeepers or police were injured.
Acdelhy, known as Yoyo Piman, was accused of helping lead a Cite Soleil gang blamed for a wave of kidnappings and killings that engulfed the impoverished Caribbean nation after the bloody 2004 uprising of former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
