Two Haitian police killed when drone accidentally explodes
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Aug 20 (Reuters) - Two Haitian police officers were killed and two others seriously wounded when an explosive drone accidentally detonated at a SWAT base near Haiti's capital, authorities in the Caribbean nation said on Wednesday. Directed by Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aime, a task force has since March been operating explosive-laden "kamikaze" drones to help police fight powerful armed gangs that have taken control of most of the capital. A private military company run by Blackwater founder Erik Prince is also taking part in the drone operations. The prime minister's office said in a statement the accident took place on Tuesday night in the hillside town of Kenscoff - a flashpoint in the conflict due to its strategic location overlooking the diplomatic hub of Petion-Ville. "A kamikaze drone, transported by residents in good faith, exploded on the site, killing two police officers and seriously injuring two others," his office said in a statement. Citing several unnamed sources, the Miami Herald reported that six officers were hurt in the blast. The prime minister's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Local residents found the drone after its operators lost contact with the device due to poor weather, it reported, and brought it to nearby police. Shortly after, it exploded. Haiti's national police said an investigation had been opened. "We are taking all measures to ensure a thorough investigation into this tragedy," Fritz Alphonse Jean, a member of Haiti's transitional presidential council, said on social media. Armed groups began attacking Kenscoff at the start of this year. Rights groups report mass killings, rapes, arson and kidnappings, and thousands have fled their homes. Earlier this month, a three-year-old boy and seven staff were kidnapped from a local orphanage, including Irish missionary Gena Heraty. Over 3,100 have been killed in the conflict in the first half of this year, according to U.N. reports.

The police are too busy for you. So this is what you can do for them …
Shops, the police said this week, should employ staff to 'meet and greet' customers as a means of countering spiralling shoplifting rates. It can, they continued, deter potential criminals from entry as they 'know they are being watched'. This news instantly plunged every introvert into a state of deep terror — 'What, someone at the door is going to say hello to me?' — while every shoplifter in the country merely shrugged. 'CCTV is watching us anyway and it's no deterrent,' a shoplifter would have told me had I known one. 'Not a deterrent at all,' said another shoplifter, one I also don't know, yet it's not the same one. (I don't know quite a few shoplifters; spoilt for choice.) The nation's introverts, meanwhile, considered marching in protest but then decided they'd prefer to stay in. The nation's introverts say those little shops with a bell over the door are trauma enough. 'You don't know there is a little bell over the door until it jangles and then it's too late,' an introvert says. 'Why not a warning prior to entry?'
