Steven J. Keenan told Fox News Digital in an emailed statement Sunday that Marines supporting embassy security operations were fired upon by suspected gang members in the capital of Port-au-Prince and returned fire on the evening of Nov. 13.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;U.S. Marines are committed to the safety and security of U.S. embassies worldwide and respond to all threats with professionalism and swift, disciplined action,&#8221; Keenan said.<\/p>\n<p>No service members were injured in the incident, which was first reported over the weekend by The Washington Post.<br \/>\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br \/>\nThe U.N. said a gang suppression force of 5,550 was set to begin operations in Haiti on Oct. 2, working alongside Haitian authorities to neutralize gangs, secure infrastructure and support humanitarian access.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/us-marines-exchanged-gunfire-suspected-gang-members-haiti-official-says\">Fox News<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Wrong Embassy.<\/p>\n<p>Great job by the United Nations. Last time the UN deployed peacekeepers there a cholera outbreak began in the UN&#8217;s camp that killed thousands of Haitians.<\/p>\n<p>A class-action lawsuit against the UN was brought by Boston-based Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti on behalf of 5,000 cholera victims. A federal district judge dismissed the suit, ruling that international treaties immunize the UN from lawsuits.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure the surviving Haitians are glad to have them back. So are the Marines.<br \/>\n*cough*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US Marines exchanged gunfire with suspected gang members in Haiti, official says No US service members &hellip; <a title=\"Just Another Day at the Office\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=176390\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Just Another Day at the Office<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":657,"featured_media":176392,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[331,42],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-176390","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-marines","category-united-nations"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176390","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/657"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=176390"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176390\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":176391,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176390\/revisions\/176391"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/176392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=176390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=176390"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=176390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
