Campaign says Haitian candidate's convoy attacked

Posted by UK Gift and top stories


The convoy of a leading Haitian presidential candidate came under attack from gunmen, the candidate's sister said Tuesday.

"We just cannot believe it. It's unbelievable. We're still in shock," said Rita Celestin-Rancy, a sister of Jude Celestin, who was traveling with her brother's 20-vehicle convoy to the southern city of Jeremie when they came under fire near Beaumont.

Celestin-Rancy said one person was killed and another wounded. Police did not return calls from CNN.

Campaign manager Joseph Flambert called into Haiti's Radio Caraibes to say the convoy retreated after a "hail of bullets."

WASHINGTON: George Bush, who took America into two wars, backed ''waterboarding'' of terrorism suspects, was labelled a racist by a black entertainer over his response to Hurricane Katrina and went against his belief in the free market to bail out Wall Street, says he hopes that his presidency will ultimately be judged a success.

But he does not expect to be around to learn the verdict.

''I'm gonna be dead … when they finally figure it out,'' he said in his first major interview in almost two years. But he added that he was comfortable simply knowing that ''I gave it my all, that I love America and that I know it's an honour to serve''.

Mr Bush was speaking on the eve of the release of his memoirs, Decision Points, in which he documents key moments in his life, from the time he quit drinking alcohol at age 40 to when he sent troops to Afghanistan and Iraq.

The book also reveals that America's 43rd president flirted with the idea of attacking Iran's nuclear facilities, according to The Guardian, which obtained an advance copy of the book.

''I directed the Pentagon to study what would be necessary for a strike,'' Mr Bush writes, before adding: ''This would be to stop the bomb clock, at least temporarily.''
