> International forces in Haiti are trying to contact four Salvadoran soldiers who went missing after gangs attacked their armoured vehicle with explosives in Croix-des-Bouquets, north of Port-au-Prince. They escaped the burning vehicle, but fighting has hindered attempts to reach them. The UN Security Council is scheduled to discuss Haiti on Monday, with the attack expected to dominate proceedings.
