[0:03] This is the CBS Evening News
[0:07] with Dan Rather and Connie Chung.
[0:11] >> Good evening. US forces in Haiti have
[0:13] suffered their first combat casualty.
[0:16] >> It happened in a small town in southern
[0:18] Haiti. A US Army Green Beret was shot
[0:20] today apparently by a Haitian wearing a
[0:22] military uniform and using a military
[0:25] weapon, though US authorities have been

[1:12] reluctant to take on the US Army. Within
[1:15] minutes, they were on the ground hands
[1:17] tied behind their backs.

[1:28] had an audience and people seem to be
[1:31] enjoying the show.
[1:32] The troops ran around the corner to the
[1:34] Palace of Justice, came across some

[1:40] movements. Why we
