Two people among a group of 17 US and Canadian missionaries kidnapped by an armed gang in Haiti last month have been released, aid officials say. Christian Aid Ministries said on Sunday that the two individuals were “safe, in good spirits, and being cared for”. “We cannot provide or confirm the names of those released,” the ministry said, giving no further details. The abduction of the missionaries and their family members, including children, was reported on 16 October.
