MOSCOW (Sputnik) – US and Canadian citizens, members of the religious organisation Christian Aid Ministries abducted earlier this month, are alive despite remaining in the captivity of their abductors, a police source confirmed to the Nouvelliste newspaper.
"Negotiations are underway for the release of foreigners. The anti-kidnapping and counter-kidnapping cell at the Central Directorate of the Judicial Police handles discussions with the kidnappers. We have proof of the lives of all the kidnapped," the source told the paper late on Thursday.
Several FBI agents are assisting efforts to free the kidnapped, but the Haitian police are leading the process, the source added. However, no specific date for their release has been mentioned.
