Two Jordanian soldiers serving with the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) have died from injuries
they suffered after being shot at by armed individuals.
The incident took place on Friday evening near the Port-au-Prince airport. One of the two blue helmets died on the way
to the hospital while the other took his last breath upon arrival, MINUSTAH said.
The circumstances of the killings are being investigated, the mission said, extending condolences to the families of the
deceased and to Jordan.
