Haiti government says President attacked while walking
New Zealand Herald Friday 17th February, 2012
Haitian President Michel Martelly and his motorcade were attacked as the leader strolled on foot in downtown Port-au-Prince, the National Palace said Friday. The statement said only that "troublemakers" who had taken refuge in a university were responsible for the afternoon attack on Martelly as he walked near the Champs de Mars plaza. Witnesses told The Associated Press that rocks were thrown at the president from behind the University of Haiti. One witness said he saw Martelly hit in the shoulder by a rock.
