Also, CARICOM discovers that Antiquan official were not allowed on Aristide's plane--told that there were NO PASSENGERS on board!!

...He added that the Antiguan Government said that no state or airport officials were allowed to enter the plane, nor did anyone on the plane disembark.

"The declaration which was made by the operators of the plane disclosed that there were no passengers aboard. Whether that indicates that those who were on board were regarded not as passengers, but as cargo, is something which I leave for you to determine," Mr. Patterson said.

According to Prime Minister Patterson, Mr. Aristide has indicated that he should soon be allowed to move more freely, at which time he should also be able to make his own decision on a final destination.
