BBC:South Africa 'sent' arms to Haiti
A row has broken out in South Africa over an attempt to send weapons to deposed Haiti president Jean-Bertrand Aristide as rebels closed in on him.

President Thabo Mbeki has been accused by the leader of the opposition, Tony Leon, of violating the constitution by failing to tell parliament.

Mr Leon said an air force plane had been authorised to carry the supplies.

A spokesman for President Mbeki said it would investigate but denied breaking the constitution.
