Port-Au-Prince, July 9

Seventeen suspects have been detained so far in connection with the assassination of Haiti’s President. Authorities say two are believed to hold dual US-Haitian citizenship and Colombia’s government says at least six are former members of its army.

Léon Charles, chief of Haiti’s National Police, said 15 of the detainees were from Colombia. The police chief said eight more suspects were being sought and three others had been killed by police. Charles had earlier said seven were killed.“We are going to bring them to justice,” the police chief said. — Agencies

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
