Canada ends Haiti investigation of troops
02-03-2007

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (UPI): Canada has dropped an investigation into allegations its troops harassed Haitian civilians, Canadian military officials said Friday.

The allegations against Canadian forces were made anonymously so they could not be followed up by investigators, Canada's CanWest news service reported.

Canadian forces were part of an interim force led by US Marines in February 2004 that arrived in Haiti as armed gunmen overran the country.

The rebel insurrection came ahead of the departure of then-President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
