Haiti rebels 'to attack capital'
Last Updated: Monday, 23 February, 2004, 07:31 GMT
Haitian rebels say they will march on the capital, Port-au-Prince, to try to oust President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
The threat came after they overran the second city, Cap-Haitien.
The BBC's Stephen Gibbs says the armed militias would face a tougher battle in the capital than in the north, where they have swept out government forces.
The political opposition has just hours left to accept a peace plan which could be the last, best hope to end the crisis which has killed at least 50.
President Aristide, who agreed to the international initiative which would see his powers reduced, has appeared calm despite the rebel gains, opening the capital's annual carnival on Sunday.
But the rebels, who were not invited to the international talks and have no links to the political opposition, say they will continue their action until all of Haiti is "liberated".
