A federal grand jury has indicted a man on charges of offering to help al-Qaida blow up fuel facilities in at least three US states.

US marines shot and killed one of the gunmen who fired at a huge demonstration of protesters celebrating the flight from Haiti of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.

HAITI'S Prime Minister Yvon Neptune declared a state of emergency, as rebels agreed to disarm and US and French troops staged a show of force in Port-au-Prince following deadly gun battles.
