World News Report: Release of American mercenaries in Haiti adds to unrest
HAITI: The arrests and release of five former U.S. military officers carrying a cache of weapons in Port-au-Prince has created a political uproar among Haitians already upset with President Javenal Moise, amid rising street unrest.

- About 5,000 people believed to be wives and children of ISIS fighters were in the custody of the Syrian Democratic Forces Thursday night outside Baghouz, according to U.S. aid group Free Burma Rangers. The number indicates a higher ISIS population remains in the area than military commanders have suggested. Satellite imagery indicates 200 families may be trapped in the town, and that U.S.-led airstrikes have added to civilian casualties in the battle. “In the air, we see the international coalition expend vast resources to defeat ISIS, but on the ground it has expended very little to protect children and other civilians caught up in its attacks,” said Nadim Houry of Human Rights Watch.
- The United States will refuse reentry to the American-born daughter of a Yemeni diplomat who left to join ISIS in Syria in 2014.
