UN in Haiti accused of second massacre
Lelene Mertina, 24 years-old, was six months pregnant when a UN bullet ripped through her abdomen instantly killing her unborn child on Dec, 22, 2006. She claimed that she was running to get out of the way of a UN armored vehicle when they suddenly opened fire in her direction. She denies there was firing on UN forces by purported gang members when she was shot. The UN has said most of the victims were felled by crossfire after coming under fire from gang members in Cite Soleil.
