SAINT-MARC, Haiti (Reuters) - Armed men launched fresh attacks on the Haitian town of Arcahaie, local media reported on Wednesday, as families mourned the growing list of victims of a massacre days earlier in an agricultural town some 60 km (37 miles) to the north.

Residents in Arcahaie, known as the birthplace of the Haitian flag, have been calling for security reinforcements in face of attacks by members of Jeff Larose's Canaan gang, several Haitian outlets reported.
