Haitian President Jovenel Moise has been assassinated overnight at his private residence, according to local media and a statement from the country's Prime Minister.

The property was attacked by a group of unidentified individuals at around 1am, and the president was shot dead, Interim PM Claude Joseph said in a statement early on Wednesday.

News website Juno 7 news said Mr Moise was killed after a group of "unidentified Spanish-speaking individuals" broke into the home in the suburbs of Port-au-Prince.

The 53-year-old was "mortally wounded" and his wife First Lady Martine is said to have been injured by a gunshot wound and taken to hospital, it added.

Mr Joseph said Haiti remained under the control of the police and armed forces and "all measures are taken to guarantee the continuity of the State and protect the Nation".

It comes after Mr Moise claimed in February another attempt on his life was prevented by police.

“There was an attempt on my life,” he said during a national address.

“I thank my head of security at the palace. The goal of these people was to make an attempt on my life. That plan was aborted.”

The Caribbean country has been suffering a political crisis in recent months with hundreds marching through Port-au-Prince in February calling for the end of the current government.

It has long been marred by poverty and political instability, and struggled to rebuild after an earthquake in 2010 and Hurricane Matthew in 2016.

sounds like he had some incriminating evidence on Hillary, and the Catalan separatists are still earning their freedom

Hillary was involved for sure, he probably was going to talk about how the Clinton Foundation robbed them of all the donations meant for them

Haiti’s National Police managed to kill four suspects and arrest two others they said were involved in the well-coordinated assassination of President Jovenel Moïse.

Law enforcement officials in the country say a gunfight between police and additional suspects is ongoing as of early Thursday.

Léon Charles, the country’s top cop, told reporters that police are still hunting for suspects, the New York Times reported.

"Four mercenaries were killed [and] two were intercepted under our control," Charles said, according to the BBC. "Three policemen who had been taken hostage have been recovered. We blocked [the suspects] en route as they left the scene of the crime. Since then, we have been battling with them."

The gunmen were highly trained and spoke Spanish or English, Claude Joseph, the country’s interim prime minister, said, according to the Associated Press. The BBC pointed out that Haiti’s official languages are Creole and French.

Another official in the country called the assassins "well trained professional commandos" and "foreign mercenaries" who carried high-powered guns, were dressed in black and masqueraded as U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agents.

Details of the attack have been scant and there is no known motive. The suspects killed in the shootout were not identified. Joseph’s office said the attack unfolded at the president’s private home in Port-au-Prince at about 1 a.m. local time and he was fatally wounded. Joseph told the paper that he is running the country.

The Times reported that Martine Moïse, the president’s wife, was also badly injured in the attack and is receiving treatment at a hospital in Florida. The BBC reported that she was listed in stable but critical condition.

Moïse was a 48-year-old businessman with little political experience when he was sworn in as president of Haiti on Feb. 7, 2017. The former banana producer inherited a nation in turmoil — one that had gone a year without an elected leader in place. He leaves it in chaos as well.

Taking office, he pledged to strengthen institutions, fight corruption and bring more investment and jobs to the hemisphere's poorest nation. "We can change Haiti if we work together," Moïse said on the grounds of what used to be the national palace — one of many buildings obliterated by a January 2010 earthquake that killed thousands of Haitians.

In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can hire The A-Team.

:hand: The A-Team were not murderers for hire, and besides - there's no evidence they ever actually killed anyone in the course of their operations
