Brutal gang attack on strategic Haiti hillside leaves at least 30 dead
A gang raid on Kenscoff near Port-au-Prince killed at least 30 people, Al Jazeera initially reported from local accounts. Reuters and the UN have since raised the reported toll to at least 47 dead and 22 injured. The attack matters beyond Haiti because Kenscoff overlooks routes into the capital and the violence is directly undermining plans for December elections and the international effort to restore state security.
