who planned this violence is still unclear. but as the dead are buried, there is rising anger and questions about how, in a secure police compound, something on this scale could happen. caroline davies, bbc news, peshawar. the us department of justice has charged 4 men in connection with the assassination of haiti s presidentjovenel moise. he was murdered in his home injuly 2021. this brings the total number of people who are in us custody for their roles in the assassination up to 7. 0ur reporter, sofia bettiza, has been following the story, and joins me now in the studio. this is a significant development in the investigation into the assassination of the president of haiti, presidentjovenel moise, two years ago. what we do know is that four men have been charged with conspiring to commit murder and providing support and resources resulting in the death of the president. we know their names and
committed in order to get a paycheck and leaders who took pay from them and didn t provide logistics and at the top politicians who lined their own pockets. corruption from top to bottom. and no real support from the cit citizenry of the government and no loyalty up and down the chain of command. once the momentum started, it unraveled pretty quickly. a lot of observers noticed this over the years and yet we lived with this illusion that we were doing something really profound there and trying to shape up these forces. now we see that it wasn t strong enough. the morale, the cohesion, starting at the top with the leadership of the president and his commanders, it wasn t strong enough to withstand the surge. and there was no reason to believe that had we stayed there for another year or two and kept another 5,000, that anything would have changed. and one country that hasn t been
higher. we re getting video from the ground. look at this street filled with rubble and dust in the air. the man in the video you re seeing right now saying there are a lot of wounded people on the street. more images show destruction as a building was shaken off kilter. it must be all too familiar for so many haitians. they re still feeling the impact of a major earthquake in 2010 that killed at least 220,000 people. remember, this country is in the midst of another crisis. haiti s president was brutally assassinated in his bedroom last month in front of his wife. today s unfolding disaster could be compounded by this. tropical storm grace is expected to hit the area as soon as monday. it just doesn t stop for the people in haiti. cnn correspondent patrick oppmann joins me from havana, cuba. patrick, this is just another devastating blow to haiti. what are you learning about the extent of the damage right now? reporter: well, there are whole areas of this part of haiti where the ear
