Anti-government activists clashed with police and supporters of Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide as they marched through the capital with his coffin. Deselmours was shot dead by a drive-by gunman during an anti-Aristide march on Jan. 7, according to witnesses. Other demonstrators blamed the president for Deselmours' death, saying the gunman was commissioned by Aristide to terrorize his critics. Reuters/Daniel Morel
