Eyewitnesses, who charged that soldiers at an army compound across the street from the church had watched the assault without interceding, identified many of the attackers as men who work for Romain, a tough former colonel who told Radio Metropole that Aristide was a rabble-rouser who got what he deserved. Haitians now hope that Avril's new government will put a stop to the bloodletting...
