March 17 (Reuters) - The U.N.-backed Gang Suppression Force - an international mobilization intended to help Haiti’s police fight powerful armed gangs in the Caribbean country - should fully deploy by October this year, Roberto Alvarez, foreign minister of the neighboring Dominican Republic, said on Tuesday.

Alvarez, who spoke after a meeting with U.S. embassy officials, said new troops from Chad are now being trained in the United States and the Kenyan police who deployed to Haiti under an earlier model of the force should withdraw gradually.
