PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Haitian police have taken ex-dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier out of his hotel. The former dictator known as "Baby Doc" was led through the hotel by a contingent of police.

Duvalier did not say anything as he was out the back of the hotel. Asked by journalists if he was being arrested, his longtime companion Veronique Roy, laughed but said nothing.

Duvalier was forced into exile in 1986 in a mass uprising and had been living in exile in France. He made a surprise return home on Sunday.
