In Haiti, 17 Christian American missionaries kidnapped a gang right from the bus, after people and members of their families came out of the shelter in Port O-Prince. About this, with reference to sources in the security services of the Caribbean State reported the newspaper The New York Times.
Details of the abduction remained unclear, but local authorities stated that the missionaries were abducted from the bus heading to the airport. Next, part of the group intended to poison to another place.
NYT notes that Haiti has been in a state of political upheavals for many years, and the abduction of both rich and poor is the usual phenomenon. But even in the country, accustomed to widespread lawlessness, the abduction of such a large group of Americans shocked officials to their arrogance.
Violence grows in the capital of Port-O-PRANS. According to some estimates, the gangs are now controlled by about half of the city. Previously, the attackers fired at a school bus in Port-O-Prince, wounding at least five people, including students, and another public bus was stolen.
Earlier, an armed person took hostages to three passengers of the bus in the south of Germany. We are talking about a tourist bus that came from abroad to Bavaria. A special purpose forces arrived at the place, the road was blocked in both directions. The criminal managed to delay.
