Ten years ago: Violence began to subside in Algeria, where mass rioting by youths had broken out a week earlier, prompting the government to declare a state of siege.

Five years ago: In Haiti, army-backed toughs prevented American troops from landing as part of a U.N. peace mission and drove away U.S. diplomats waiting to greet the soldiers. Yasser Arafat won endorsement for his peace accord with Israel from the Palestine Central Council.

One year ago: Authorities reported no survivors from the overnight crash of an Argentine jetliner in Uruguay, which killed all 74 people on board.
