A foreign hit squad of 26 Colombians and two Haitian Americans killed President Jovenel Moïse, police say, as pressure grows to uncover who ordered the assassination. Two Americans are among 28 foreign mercenaries responsible for the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse, police in Haiti have claimed. James Solages, from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Joseph Vincent, both Haitian Americans, are in custody, according to Haitian police. Police said 19 members of the alleged foreign assassination squad were in custody, three had been killed in a gun battle, and eight were still at large. The remainder of the alleged assassins are from Colombia, some of whom formerly served in the Colombian military, Haitian police said. (…) Moïse was assassinated in the early hours of Wednesday. Since his death Haiti has been rife with rumors about who ordered the hit. The fact – according to police – that the alleged assassins were all foreigners has led to increased scrutiny on high-profile figures in Haiti, including two businessmen – both political rivals of Moïse – as well as the interim President Claude Joseph, and even Leon Charles the Chief of Police who is running the investigation into the assassination.
