Bill Clinton to visit Haiti as UN envoy

14 years ago

UNITED NATIONS (AP) - Former U.S. President Bill Clinton is slated to make his first trip to Haiti next week as U.N. special envoy to the storm-ravaged country.
Clinton begins a three-day mission Monday to help the impoverished Caribbean nation recover from four devastating tropical storms, which killed about 800 people last fall causing some $1 billion in damage.
Clinton is working to ensure the world delivers on a $335 million pledge made in April for Haiti's recovery.

The trip comes as the U.N.'s 9,000-member peacekeeping mission faces growing tensions.
On Monday, Haitian police said a protester who died after a clash with peacekeepers was killed by a bullet, and not by a rock as initially reported.
