Samuel Milord, a National Assembly deputy whose family said he was dragged from a house late Wednesday, had only re cently come out of hiding since denouncing leaders of the bloody coup that ousted Aris tide two years ago. His seizure followed the assassinations of pro-Aristide businessman Antoine Izmery on Sept. 11 and Justice Minister Guy Malary a week ago. Malary was part of the interim govern ment appointed by Aristide, Haiti's first freely elected president, under a U.N. plan for restoring democracy. Although the army commander Raoul Cedras signed the plan in July, increasing violence and threats by army-backed civil ian gangs have derailed the timetable for implementing the plan and rebuilding this impoverished nation. A U.N. embargo on fuel and weapons shipments was reimposed Tuesday to pres sure Haiti's military leaders to live up to the accord for returning Aristide to office Oct. 30. Lines of cars formed at gas stations in the capital and along the highway to Leogane, 25 miles to the southwest. Prime Minister Robert Malval's govern ment said he had received a statement from fuel distributors saying they would respect the U.N. sanctions. The office did not say whether the state ment was signed by all three international companies that distribute fuel: Esso, Texaco and Shell. Executives could not be contacted imme diately for comment, and it was unclear whether they would defy any order from the army to release fuel. Parliament has been trying to draft laws to implement provisions of the U.N. democracy plan. Many soldiers and right ists oppose the plan's requirement for the army to give up control of the police and for Cedras to step down. Two weeks ago. Milord told The Associ ated Press he was on a "death list" circulat ed among army-allied civilian gangs. Family members told local radio that gunmen burst into a home in whichh staying in the capital's Debussy sect took him away. Shots were reported in the neighbti Wednesday night. An official with Milord's pro-Ar; coalition, the National Front forth and Democracy, confirmed the info: tions. The government was checkinc the report.
