Gunmen Kill 2 Haitian Journalists Covering Reopening of Port-au-Prince Hospital
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Haiti, two journalists and a police officer were killed Tuesday when
gunmen opened fire on a news conference in the capital Port-au-Prince.
Several others were wounded in the Christmas Eve attack, which left
reporters Markenzy Nathoux and Jimmy Jean dead. Media workers had
gathered to interview Haiti's new health minister at the reopening of
Port-au-Prince's biggest public hospital, which has been closed for much
of the year amid a surge in violence.
