Report: Seventeen Detained In Haiti Assassination; Two Americans Claim They Only Translated, Judge Says

Over a dozen presumed South American nationals and two U.S. citizens of Haitian descent have been detained on suspicion of participating in the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moise, and even more perpetrators are still believed to be at-large, the Haitian National Police revealed Friday. 

According to The New York Times, a Haitian official claimed that the two American suspects said they were only providing translation services to the group, which surrounded the president’s home before dawn Wednesday. Witness accounts indicate that the group appeared to be “DEA agents.”
