Port-au-Prince, December 19 (RHC)-- Haitian officials have announced that the remaining 12 North American missionaries who were kidnapped in October have been released. Five others had previously been freed.
The gang 400 Mawozo had initially demanded a ransom of $1 million for each of the 17 hostages. It has not been confirmed whether any money was exchanged for the release, although one source said a smaller amount was paid to the gang, but not by the U.S. government.
