French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin said today that France has been in contact with other United Nations members about sending an international peacekeeping force to Haiti. De Villepin said “We have the means — and many friendly countries are mobilized and ready to act. We have to find a way to do this in liaison with the different Haitian parties.” On Monday in Haiti, armed rebels stormed the city of Hinche killing the police chief and two officers.
