U.N.: PEACEKEEPERS LIKELY TO REMAIN

PORT-AU-PRINCE -- The U.N. peacekeeping mission in Haiti should be prepared to 
stay in the troubled country for another 10 years, U.N. envoy to Haiti Juan 
Gabriel Valdés said Tuesday.

In June, the U.N. Security Council extended the year-old mission's mandate for 
another eight months. The 7,600-member peacekeeping force has been intensifying 
efforts to root out politically aligned gangs.
