	Caribbean Net News: Haiti opposition group denies declaring ceasefire for bicentennial
		Buteur Metayer told a private radio station in the capital that a "journalist had imitated my voice" and recorded the statement released to the press Monday declaring a ceasefire.
		Metayer's followers had not questioned the authenticity of the recording when it was released Monday.
		Metayer's followers have blamed the government for the death, and since September 23 there have been attacks and violent demonstrations in the town which have left 36 dead and 85 wounded.

	Haiti rebel chief fans flames of unrest, chaos in port city (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-18)
		His name is Buteur Metayer, and his claim to power apparently rests on the fact that his brother Amiot, once a self-proclaimed enforcer for embattled President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, was killed last fall after he broke away from Aristide, becoming a local martyr.
		Metayer sweeps out of a walled compound, walking with an air of command, flanked by toughs with rifles pointing skyward, butts on their hips.
		The rebel chief confirmed rumors that a couple of feared figures from the nation's past — one exiled for allegedly plotting a coup, the other the former head of a paramilitary squad during Haiti's last dictatorship — have returned and are in league with his forces.
