PORT-AU-PRINCE - Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide faced increased pressure to resign Monday after four days of rioting led by armed rebels killed as many as 40 people and led to widespread looting.

Prime Minister Yvon Neptune accused the opposition of trying to mount a coup to overthrow Aristide, who won legislative elections in 2000, but international observers called the vote seriously flawed.

Three major centres, Gonaives, St-Marc and Grand Goave, were under control of the rebels on Monday, as well as several smaller towns.
