Gunfire Hits Sprint Airlines Aircraft Over Haitian Capital

Gunfire hit a Spirit Airlines flight to Haiti on Monday, injuring a crew member, media reports say.

According to the reports, gunfire  over the Haitian capital, Port au Prince may also have struck a separate flight from the country.

The United States State Department has issued a warning over ‘gang-led efforts’ to stop travel to Haiti.

Spirit confirmed in a statement that one of its flights from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to Port-au-Prince, Haiti, was diverted to the Dominican Republic on Monday.

It said an inspection of the aircraft showed damage consistent with gunfire and that a flight attendant on board reported ‘minor’ injuries.

However, there were no reports of passenger injuries.

Following the incident, Sprint announced a suspension of its services to Haiti.

The Sprint announcement occurred amid renewed fears regarding Haiti’s political and security situation.

As reported by the Associated Press, a transitionary council created to reestablish democratic order in Haiti signed a decree Sunday firing interim Prime Minister Garry Conille and replacing him with Alix Didier Fils-Aimé.

Fils-Aimé had previously been in line for the job.

  1. Gang-led efforts or CIA false flag? Who reported the incident? Who conducted the investigation? What exactly were the minor injuries to the flight attendant? Where is the photographic evidence for these allegations? How is firing the interim Prime Minister going to re-establish “democratic” order?

    The forms must be obeyed…

    Convention dictates that the enforcement of “democratic” rule in Haiti now requires much more than the Kenyan rent-a-cops already deployed there. Since Trump has now won the election in the US, the Biden perpetual lame duck administration needs to accelerate the deployment of US troops in this latest R2P (Responsibility To Protect) adventure.

    Look for gangs (the ones paid for with NED funds) to increase the number of attacks against the Kenyans, so that the US will have reason to send in troops to protect Haiti’s fragile “democracy”; doncha know? The false flag attack against Spirit Airlines was the plausible excuse required to manufacture consent for the mission to protect & sustain the Clinton Foundation Governate of Haiti.
