Wyclef Jean's Hand Cut By Glass, Not Hit By Bullet According To Haitian Police And Doctor

Haitians headed to the polls to pick a new president Sunday among conflicting reports that former candidate wannabe Wyclef Jean was shot.

Jean said a bullet grazed his hand as he stepped out of a car to make a phone call, but local police claim he was only injured by glass.

"The way I can explain it is that the bullet grazed me in my right hand," said the hip-hop singer, who has been in Haiti campaigning on behalf of Michel (Sweet Micky) Martelly. "I heard blow, blow, blow and I just looked at my hand."

Jean said he was in a car with a driver in the Delmas section of the capital at the time. He doesn't know who fired the shots, or whether they were directed at him, the 37-year-old Grammy winner said.

Cops down-played the violence, and say the New Jersey resident - a Haitian-American who hoped to compete in the Caribbean nation's ongoing presidential race - suffered only a minor cut to his hand from glass in an apparent accident.

"We met with the doctor who saw him and he confirmed Wyclef was cut by glass," Vanel Lacroix, police chief in Petionville where Jean is staying, told Reuters.

Car Carrying Wyclef Jean & Busta Rhymes Attacked In Haiti. Jean Shot In The Hand

Singer/rapper Wyclef Jean was injured in Haiti Saturday (March 19), on the eve of the country's presidential runoff vote.

Jean, a Haiti native was shot in the hand in Port-au-Prince when the car he was riding in along rapper Busta Rhymes was attacked.

The former Fugees member saw his bid to become president of Haiti cut short last year due to residency issues, but has remained a strong figure on the political front.

Spokeswoman Cindy Tanenbaum told CNN Wyclef was recovering. "He is doing well," she said.

Nobody else in the vehicle was injured.

Bute KOs Magee, Keeps IBF World Title

Making his third straight start at the electric Bell Centre in the town he call home, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, 31-year old Romanian IBF Super Middleweight titlist Lucian Bute (28-0, 23 KO), scored his fifth consecutive stoppage and seventh successful defense, overcoming an intense challenge from 35-year old Brian Magee (34-4-1, 24 KO) of Belfast, Northern Ireland. Bute scored three knockdowns on the night, along with an uncredited fourth, ultimately finishing matters in the tenth round.

Both men weighed in below the division’s 168 lb. limit, Bute at 167 ¾ and Magee at 167 ½.

A left underneath touched the point of Magee’s chin, dropping him to all fours. Podgorski called it a night at 2:04 of round ten.

The always classy Bute was respectful of the effort Magee made. “Brian Magee is a good fighter, a very good fighter. He’s got a hard head. He’s very tough.”

Nashville Store Owner Exchanges Gunshots With 2 Armed Robbers

A night on the job became violent for two Nashville, Tennessee convenience store clerks when two men walked in, guns in hand Tuesday. A wild shootout unfolded inside the very close quarters of the Lewis Street Market. On Wednesday, store owner Kamil Alakabi described what happened. "I was right here when I grabbed my gun. They stayed on the other side, and I shot them on this side," said Alakabi. "They came straight to me, and they don't say nothing. They just put the gun in my face. When they put the gun in my face, I tried to grab his gun, and they put me on the floor, and they punched me with their gun in my shoulder."

He instantly fell to the floor and immediately tried to grab one man's gun. That's when, Alakabi said, he thinks the men were startled by another worker on the other side of the aisle. "When they saw my buddy back there, they run to him. And I grab my gun and keep shooting them. When I keep shooting them and they keep shooting me, they run away you know," Alakabi said.

As the two men ran out, bullets and smoke can be seen trailing them in the security video. "I tried to protect myself, you know," said Alakabi. Alakabi said he carries a gun because this is the third time in the past three years he's been robbed at gunpoint at his store. "The second time they come with a gun, one guy he come with a gun, then he put it in my face and the front of my register, and I grabbed his gun, too," said Alakabi of the 2009 robbery. "I know this area is a bad area."

That's why the man who served seven years in the Iraq Army usually stands outside each night keeping an eye on who is around. "But last night, I forgot. We were busy or something for some reason," said Alakabi. He now hopes police find these robbers before they hurt someone else. "I hope they got them because this is bad, bad, bad people. I hope they got them. Maybe they go to another store, they kill somebody or something. That's bad people, you know," said Alakabi. Both of the men who were trying to rob the store got away, and police said it did not appear that either was hit by the gunfire.

US launches military action against Libya

President Barack Obama authorized limited military action against Libya Saturday, saying Moammar Gadhafi's continued assault on his own people left the U.S. and its international partners with no other choice. The Pentagon said 112 cruise missiles were launched from US and UK ships and subs, hitting 20 targets.

Obama said military action was not his first choice.

"This is not an outcome the U.S. or any of our partners sought," Obama said from Brazil, where he is starting a five-day visit to Latin America. "We cannot stand idly by when a tyrant tells his people there will be no mercy."

A senior military official said the U.S. launched air defenses Saturday with strikes along the Libyan coast that were launched by Navy vessels in the Mediterranean. The official said the assault would unfold in stages and target air defense installations around Tripoli, the capital, and a coastal area south of Benghazi, the rebel stronghold.

Obama declared once again that the United States would not send ground forces to Libya, though he said he is "deeply aware" of the risks of taking any military action.

Earlier in the day, Obama warned that the international community was prepared to act with urgency.

"Our consensus was strong, and our resolve is clear. The people of Libya must be protected, and in the absence of an immediate end to the violence against civilians our coalition is prepared to act, and to act with urgency," Obama said.

Top officials from the U.S., Europe and the Arab world meeting in Paris, where they announced Saturday immediate military action to protect civilians caught in combat between Gadhafi's forces and rebel fighters. American ships and aircraft were poised for action but weren't participating in the initial French air missions.

As the military action was announced, French fighter jets swooped over Benghazi, the opposition stronghold that was stormed by Libyan government forces earlier Saturday, in defiance of a proclaimed ceasefire.

France, Britain and the United States had warned Gadhafi Friday that they would resort to military means if he ignored the U.N. resolution demanding a cease-fire.

The United States has a host of forces and ships in the area, including submarines, destroyers, amphibious assault and landing ships.

The U.S. intended to limit its involvement — at least in the initial stages — to helping protect French and other air missions by taking out Libyan air defenses, but depending on the response could launch additional attacks in support of allied forces, a U.S. official said. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of military operations.

Supermoon: Biggest Full Moon in 18 Years Occurs Saturday Night

Thanks to a fluke of orbital mechanics that brings the moon closer to Earth than that it has been in more than 18 years, the biggest full moon of 2011 will occur on Saturday, leading some observers to dub it a "supermoon."

On Saturday afternoon at 3 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, the moon will arrive at its closest point to the Earth in 2011: a distance of 221,565 miles (356,575 kilometers) away. And only 50 minutes earlier, the moon will officially be full. [Photos: Our Changing Moon]

At its peak, the supermoon of March may appear 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than lesser full moons (when the moon is at its farthest from Earth), weather permitting. Yet to the casual observer, it may be hard to tell the difference.

The supermoon will not cause natural disasters, such as the Japan earthquake, a NASA scientist has stressed.
