PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI: French soldiers run on the tarmac at Port-Au-Prince's international airport moments after their arrival to Haiti's capital city 01 March 2004. US Marines landed in Haiti late 29 February as part of an international security force joining French and Canadian troops following the departure of President Jean Bertrand Aristide. The US plans to deploy about 1,000 troops to violence-wracked Haiti to help restore order, Secretary of State Colin Powell said 01 March, but he declined to say how long they would stay.
