Haiti: Police Arrest 5 Americans Amid Political Unrest
------------------------------------------------------

In Haiti, police have arrested multiple foreign nationals, including
five Americans, for possessing illegal weapons. Three of those are
reportedly former U.S. military, and a fourth previously worked as a
federal contractor. Authorities are still investigating why the
Americans were in Haiti. The arrests come after days of anti-government
protests which resulted in at least seven deaths.
