PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) -- A U.N. peacekeeper who was shot while on patrol near the volatile Cite Soleil slum of Haiti's capital died Monday at a hospital in neighboring Dominican Republic, a spokesman for the United Nations said.The peacekeeper was shot in the head Saturday in the Port-au-Prince neighborhood while his patrol was trying to rescue a kidnapped woman, said Lt. Col. El Ouafi Boulbars, the U.N. military spokesman in Haiti.The peacekeeper was identified as Muhammed Khalaf, 32, a corporal from the Jordanian army.Some 7,600 U.N. troops and police are trying to re-establish order in the Caribbean nation ahead of elections to replace the interim government imposed after the February 2004 ouster of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.The death brought to four the number of peacekeepers killed in clashes since the U.N. mission arrived in June 2004.Khalaf, who was married and had three children, was scheduled to return in two weeks."This tragic death does not alter our determination to make progress in our mission," Boulbars said.Cite Soleil is the base for armed gangs that U.N. authorities say are loyal to Aristide, who fled the country following a violent rebellion.The shooting occurred after the patrol intervened as gang members tried to hijack a car, Boulbars said.The peacekeepers were told by one of the people in the car that the same gang members were holding a woman captive. U.N. troops entered the slum and met with heavy fire from rooftops and alleys, he said.Khalaf was standing in the armored vehicle and returning fire when he was struck in the head by a bullet, officials said.Copyright 2005 The Associated Press.
