A number of recent robberies of travelers arriving from the U.S. at Port-au-Prince’s Toussaint Louverture International Airport prompted the U.S. Embassy to warn visitors to be careful when arranging transport from the airport. Four U.S. citizens were killed in separate robberies over the last three months in three different locations when criminals followed them from the airport and attacked when they had left the area. Police believe the criminals may be targeting passengers on flights from the U.S. The Americans who were killed were all arriving to visit relatives. The U.S. State Department also reissued a travel warning strongly advising Americans to avoid travel to Haiti.
