[Reuters]A top security official of slain Haitian President Jovenel Moise was arrested by police on suspicion of involvement in the assassination plot, his lawyer said on Tuesday, as another aide's apparent account of the event was leaked on social media. Civil's arrest followed the earlier detention of another senior member of Moise's security detail, Dimitri Herard. Herard noted he received word of "many detonations" near Moise's home and advanced on it with other officials. Due to the fact his group was outnumbered and concerned that the men might have the president, Herard's group retreated. The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted a raid linked to Moise's assassination in a gated community in Florida, a spokesperson for the agency confirmed on Tuesday after media reports about the incident.
