A buy back has yielded about 300 weapons mostly tear gas grenades for 50 to 300 dollars each. Army officials say raids fade in effectiveness with intelligence quality and a rifle pistol and machete appearing in a Tuesday raid. The effort aims to clear firearms ahead of Aristide's return in nine days as FRAPH and affiliates are targeted.
