Assassination Attempt on Haiti President Michel Martelly

BREAKING NEWS - Gunmen linked to Attack on Martelly - Video evidence suggest that the incident surrounding Haitian president Michel Martelly in Cap-Haitien this past Sunday was an Assassination attempt.

President Martelly may know who is responsible for this assassination attempt

Here is the translation from French Quid pro quo from Haiti Press Network...

"President Martelly described as "assassination attempt" the throwing stones and bottles against his motorcade in the neighborhood of Shada, Cap-Haitien Sunday, July 24.

President Michel Martelly made this declaration at the microphone of a correspondent of Radio Galaxie in Gonaïves.

He [President Martelly] said a video showed a man with an M-1 rifle from the attackers.

Before this statement, the entourage of Martelly had initially downplayed the incident. But the speech seems to have changed and the president has even said he knows who did it.

By the say... among the 30 people detained Monday by police in Cap-Haitien, one of them held an M-1 rifle.

The holder of this M-1 rifle is an ex-convict employed by Parliament."

Bon...

Huh... I don't know what else to add to this or what is the right question to ask so I will leave it up to you to say what you think..
