Armed men shot at prison guards prior to the escape. Arnel Joseph, the gang leader, was Haiti’s most-wanted criminal prior to his arrest and was indicted on a sheet of charges including murder and kidnapping. Eyewitness reports said that he was seen on a motorcycle at a checkpoint on Friday prior to being struck in the middle of gunfire with local police.
Haiti’s Communications Secretary Frantz Exantus said at a Friday news conference that 60 inmates were recaptured while 200 still remained at large. “Twenty-five people died, including six prisoners and Divisional Inspector Paul Hector Joseph who was in charge of the prison,” he said. “Among those killed were some ordinary citizens who were killed by the prisoners during their escape.”
Iran Behind Explosion on Israeli Ship?
Defense Minister Benny Gantz accused Iran of orchestrating the explosion that crippled an Israeli ship off the coast of Oman. No one was hurt in the blast on Friday on the Israeli-owned MV HELIOS RAY as it anchored off of the Gulf of Oman. The freighter has since reported to Dubai for repairs, while Israeli intelligence agencies investigate the incident. In an interview hours after the incident, Gantz said that the close
proximity to Iran coupled with the high degree of tactical proficiency exhibited pointed to Iran as the culprit. He stressed, however, that the probe was still ongoing. “We need to continue investigating,” Gantz told Channel 11. “The Iranians are looking to harm Israelis and Israeli infrastructure. The proximity to Iran brings the assessment that there is a likelihood that this is an Iranian initiative.” A slew of vessels has suffered mysterious accidents in recent years in attacks attributed to Iran. The ship is owned by Israeli magnate Rami Unger and was carrying a fleet of cars from Saudi Arabia to Singapore when it was rocked by a massive explosion. According to a report the Dryad Global maritime intelligence firm released on Saturday, the attack was likely perpetuated by Iran in an effort to hurt Israeli interests while maintaining plausible deniability. “Whilst details regarding the incident remain unclear, it remains a realistic possibility that the event was the result of asymmetric activity by Iranian military,” wrote Drydad Global. “Such activity would be commensurate with current tensions
and Iranian intent to exercise forceful diplomacy through military means within its immediate area of interest,” continued the report. “Tensions between Israel and Iran remain fraught, especially in light of increased signs of rapprochement between Iran and the Biden administration. “Increasingly, Iran is also becoming fearful of improving relations between Israel and the Gulf states. Recent reports of behind-the-scenes cooperation between Saudi and Israel to counter Iranian activity are likely to influence any potential Iranian activity.”
