STORYLINE
Rebels in Haiti on Sunday seized the government''''s last major bastion in the north, Cap-Haitien, shooting off celebratory rounds in the air as people looted and several torched buildings sent a pall of black smoke over the city.
Rebels in the city centre said their force of about 200 met little resistance except at the airport, where they said eight people were killed in fighting with militant civilians loyal to President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
Thousands of people shouting "Down with Aristide!" marched with a convoy of about 40 rebels in eight commandeered cars.
Some looted the pro-Aristide Radio Africa station, then rebels shot up the building while a crowd clapped.
A plane was commandeered from the airport during the fighting, a Tropical Airways manager said.
It appeared it might have been taken by fleeing Aristide supporters.
Earlier, about 10 armed men stormed the police station and freed about 250 prisoners.
The police fled, according to a witness, who lives next door.
It was unclear whether the attackers were Aristide militants or the rebels, who have torched a score of police stations and freed prisoners since the uprising against Aristide began February 5.
Teenagers looting the police headquarters paraded in police hats and body armour, rebels handed over keys of cars to residents and drank from beer bottles as people hefted away weapons, typewriters, mattresses, even doors.
Radio Kiskeya reported people were plundering the port, looting containers on the wharf.
Also in town was Louis-Jodel Chamblain, co-leader of an army death squad that killed hundreds.
At Port-au-Prince International Airport, meanwhile, people lined up to leave the country.
