BOLDUAN: This morning, a new turn in the political chaos gripping Haiti. The country's foreign minister confirms five Americans have been arrested, held on conspiracy charges. This comes amid an eruption of violent protests that have left several people dead.

The government has asked that all sectors come back to work, the businesses to reopen, the schools to reopen, the government agencies to reopen. We haven't seen that across the board. There are more gas stations opened, some businesses have reopened, but the schools haven't come back. And there are rumors, discussions about more protests out there, trying to block more roads around the country. Police have been on alert not only in the capital but across the entire country to stop that from happening. So there's a bit of a standoff. Regarding the five Americans, eight total people, five Americans arrested. They had a ton of guns on them. Many of them automatic weapons that would have to be registered here in the country. It's not clear what they were up to. Local reports saying they identified themselves as working for the government to police when they were picked up. The police disagreeing. We'll learn more about this. It certainly adds a level of intrigue here. This, as officials that we're speaking to with the government say that the protests that we saw over the last nine days weren't just an expression -
