Gunfire Kills 1 as Haitians Demand That Preval Be Declared President
Tension grows after the electoral council indicates he will face a runoff next month.

By Carol J. Williams and Chantal Regnault, Special to The Times


PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Gunfire erupted and killed a man Monday as angry supporters of presidential front-runner Rene Preval took to the streets to protest delays and rumored fraud in ballot counting from the Feb. 7 elections.

Witnesses said the gunfire in the capital's Tabarre neighborhood came from U.N. forces — a charge denied by the peacekeepers' spokesman.


Another mob stormed the luxury Hotel Montana in search of election officials the protesters accused of trying to deny a majority victory to Preval.

"We will burn the entire city unless they give us the results!" vowed Jean Civil, among the Preval backers who set up a roadblock of burning tires at the busy Canape Vert intersection. "They don't want to give us the results because they are making them up."
