Haiti crisis deepens as US seizes state media
US troops in Port-au-Prince occupied state television and radio outlets and surrounded Haiti army chief Bramby as pro democracy marches loomed on the third anniversary of Aristide's overthrow. Looting erupted at a downtown grocery as crowds gathered, with soldiers present but not intervening. The action follows reports of a grenade blast and shootout, while Ambassador Swing urged a peaceful transition amid fears of infiltrators.
