The suspects in the killing of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse got into a protracted and bloody siege in the aftermath of the assassination, according to a CNN report.

Much is still unclear about last Wednesday's early-morning attack, which left the president dead, his body reportedly riddled with bullets, and Haitian security forces scrambling to catch the perpetrators.

Citing a source with knowledge of the operation, CNN described a multiday chase between security forces and at least 25 suspects transporting two hostages who were members of the presidential guard.

In the early hours, after Moïse was killed in his home near the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince, the police set up a blockade on a narrow route and intercepted a convoy of five cars, the source told CNN.
