The raid was in reaction to ten days of protests by the 'Cannibal Army,' a gang which formerly supported Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide but is now vehemently anti-government because it blames the September 22 murder of Metayer on Aristide, a charge the government rejects. Residents said they put up a US flag because they want the Americans to 'liberate us from Aristide and give us peace.' The funeral is planned for Monday, October 6. (AP Photo/Daniel Morel)
