Haitian presidential candidate jailed
A Haitian presidential candidate who was a suspect in the 2000 slaying of a prominent journalist was arrested Monday for allegedly carrying unregistered weapons in his car, authorities said.
Dany Toussaint, a former army major and senator running for president on a pledge to restore order to chaotic Haiti, was arrested at a checkpoint by United Nations peacekeepers as he drove in a northern town in the impoverished country, U.N. officials and the country’s police chief said.
Toussaint, 48, was detained after peacekeepers found the unregistered weapons in his car, Police Chief Mario Andresol told The Associated Press.
