FLASH : 17 American Missionaries kidnapped in Haiti by armed gang members

After Martelly/Lamothe arrested rich man Clifford Brandt, kidnapping stopped in Haiti for a very long time. Who do they have to arrest this time?

According to CNN, 14 of the kidnapped American citizens are adults and three of them are minors.

Haiti news is reporting that the kidnapping was done by a group called "400 Mawozo," a heavily armed gang that has been terrorizing the city of Croix-des-Bouquets and areas surrounding it in the outskirts of the capital.

According to CNN, these American missionaries were abducted after they visited an orphanage in Croix-des-Bouquets.

The New York Times reported that one of the missionaries posted a call for help in a WhatsApp group as they were being a abducted by the bandits.

Hopefully now the United States government would understand the seriousness what is happening in Haiti. Hopefully they will stop negotiating with criminals and terrorists in Haiti who are now trying to overtake the government.
