Here is something that is adding more fuel to a fire. The alleged rape by member of the Uruguayan peacekeeping force in Haiti. There is a video circulating of an alleged rape of an 18-year-old Haitian man by Uruguayan U.N. peacekeeping troops.

President Jose Mujica said public outrage in Haiti has surged over a video shot by a video and circulating on the Internet that shows laughing Uruguayan marines pinning the young Haitian face down on a mattress and apparently assaulting him sexually.

The Uruguayan government also released in the statement that they will provide compensation to the Haitian victim

Here is a picture of the Uruguayan CASA212 aircraft that went down west of the town of Fonds-Verrettes in Haiti in May 2007.

The crash killed 11 U.N. peacekeepers who were Uruguayan and Jordanian military personnel. Two U.N. helicopters were able to land near the site and all 11 bodies were recovered and transported to the Haitian Capital, Port-au-Prince
