Cholera protesters attack cars in Haiti capital

None

Anti-UN violence spread to Haiti's capital Thursday as protesters blocked roads and attacked foreigners' cars over suspicions that peacekeepers introduced a cholera epidemic that has killed more than 1,100 people.

 

The unrest followed three days of similar violence in northern Haiti. The protests come a little more than a week before national elections, and the UN has characterized them as political. Some demonstrators threw rocks at an office of President Rene Preval's Unity party and tore down campaign posters. (AP)
