Their objective was to test<br \/>the limits of the security perimeter and destabilize activity in the area.<\/p>\n<p>However, they did <strong>not breach the embassy walls<\/strong>, nor did they make<br \/>direct contact with U.S. personnel. The situation was rapidly contained due to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Immediate deployment of PNH tactical units<\/li>\n<li>Support from U.S. Embassy security forces<\/li>\n<li>Air surveillance monitoring movement of armed groups<\/li>\n<li>Roadblocks established on key access points<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"dralys-section\">\n<h2>Why Would Gangs Target the U.S. Embassy?<\/h2>\n<p>The embassy is one of the most secure and symbolically important locations in<br \/>Haiti.
