Former police chief vows assault on Haiti capital

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Guy Philippe, a former police chief infamous for human-rights abuses, yesterday vowed his band of gunmen would attack the capital, Port-au-Prince, within a week, as panicked policemen and residents girded for an assault on Haiti's second-largest city.

Philippe, chief from 1991 to 1994 during the military dictatorship, has told local radio reporters that he has 300 men under arms and vowed to march south within the week against Saint Marc and then to the capital to attack the presidential palace.

Haiti's two-week-old rebellion by armed gangs and former soldiers demanding the resignation of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, in which some 60 people have been killed, continued to spread yesterday with reports of police deserting their posts on mere rumors of approaching gunmen.

Phillippe, who had fled to neighboring Dominican Republic amid allegations that he led a coup attempt in 2001 that left 12 dead, declared himself chief of the previously unknown Front for National Liberation. He said the Front includes Louis Jodet Chamblain, a leader of the brutal paramilitary group known as FRAPH that supported the military dictatorship. The armed forces toppled Aristide in 1991, but U.S. troops restored him to power in 1994.
