Haiti Kidnappers Threaten to Kill U.S. Missionaries If Ransom Doesn’t Arrive

  • The criminal gang that kidnapped 17 North American Christian missionaries in Haiti last weekend has threatened to kill them if a $17 million ransom is not forthcoming.
  • On October 16, members of the 400 Mawozo gang abducted 17 missionaries from the Ohio-based Christian Aid Ministries near the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince.
  • A bus carrying the 12 adults and 5 children — including an 8-month-old baby — was hijacked as it made its way home from an orphanage outside Port-au-Prince.
