Ousted Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide claims he ''did not resign'' and was ''kidnapped'' by U.S. diplomatic and military officials, U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters told The Herald on Monday.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan called the claim ``complete nonsense.''

''It was Mr. Aristide's decision to resign,'' he said.

The claims relayed by Waters and others came as rebel leader Guy Philippe and his forces rolled unopposed into Port-au-Prince. Many people welcomed them with open arms. No new violence was reported.

At the same time, hundreds of newly arrived U.S. Marines and French and Canadian officers fortified their positions in the capital, which include the airport, the seaport and the presidential National Palace.
