Aristide touches down in Antigua for refueling, food; destination unknown

Jean-Bertrand Aristide's plane stopped for food and fuel on the Caribbean island of Antigua on Sunday before departing for South Africa, government and airport officials said, but it remained unclear where the ousted Haitian president would seek asylum.

But a South African official said there had been no recent contact with Aristide or any offer of asylum.

Panama's president, who did offer Aristide asylum, said her government was told by the United States that Aristide was heading to an unidentified African nation.
