 PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) - Gunmen have released 14 Haitian children and an American missionary who were abducted in separate incidents, police said Friday.
The missionary, Phillip Snyder, was released Friday after a ransom was paid, said police Commissioner Francois Henri Doussous, head of Haiti's anti-kidnapping unit. He would not specify how much was paid but said it was "much less" than the $300,000 the kidnappers initially sought.
The gunmen released the children and their school bus driver unharmed Thursday night, hours after their bus was hijacked by gunmen on the way to school.
