Haitian cops beaten up by UN troops

Port-au-Prince. Two Haitian policemen were severely beaten by UN
peacekeepers in Haiti's largest and most violent slum, a local municipal
official and witnesses said.

They said the seemingly arbitrary attack on the plainclothes officers,
identified as Osnald Denis and Donson Bien-Aime, occurred on Wednesday in
Cite Soleil, a teeming warren of shanties on the south side of the
impoverished Caribbean nation's capital.

Cite Soleil Mayor Wilson Louis, in an account supported by several
witnesses, told Reuters about 10 Brazilian members of the UN peacekeeping
force in Haiti took part in the beating.

"I can confirm that the two police officers were severely beaten up by
Brazilian troops of the UN mission here," Louis said.
