A recent violence in Port-au-Prince, Haiti
According to the New York Times quoting Haitian security officials, as many as 17 Christian missionaries from the United States and their families, including children, were kidnapped by a gang when they left the orphanage in Port-au-Prince on Saturday (16th) local time. Details of the abductions remain unclear, but local officials said the missionaries were kidnapped on a bus bound for the airport.
Haiti has been in a state of political turmoil for years, with kidnappings widespread. The mass abduction of Americans has shocked local officials. (Overseas Network Hou Xingchuan)
