U.S. Marines Conduct Raid in Haiti

By IAN JAMES and PETER PRENGAMAN Associated Press Writers



U.S. Marines raided a house in search of weapons Thursday, trying to shore up a fragile peace in Haiti as the ousted president planned a return to the Caribbean from exile in Africa.

With morgues full and government offices closed, bodies were piling up in the capital, littering the streets and serving as bitter reminders of an armed rebellion that has divided the country.

Prime Minister Gerard Latortue, who began choosing a Cabinet on Thursday, has said ridding the population of weapons is a top priority. Marines raided a home near the presidential palace before dawn Thursday, hours after Latortue arrived in Haiti from Florida.

U.S. Army Gen. James Hill said troops would work to collect weapons, from "rusted M-1s to top-of-the-line Uzis."
