Haitian National anti-riot and SWAT Team Police patrol outside the Mormon church where a service was being held for Amiot Metayer, a strongman and leader of the pro-government "Cannibal Army" in the poor seaside neighborhood of Raboteau in Gonaives, Haiti, on Monday, October 6, 2003, since the Catholic church refused to hold the ceremony. Metayer's bullet-ridden body was found on September 22. The "Cannibal Army," some of whose members are armed, and Raboteau residents blame Metayer's death on the Jean-Bertrand Aristide government and have been protesting ever since the murder, holding the city under virtual seige with protests. At least five have been killed and dozens injured by police trying to end the protests. The funeral procession of thousands turned into an anti-government march. Metayer was buried in the middle of a Raboteau street. (Ap Photo/ Daniel Morel)
