Reports say a group of US missionaries and their family members, including children have been kidnapped by an armed gang near Haiti’s Port-au-Prince.

It was gathered that at least 15 people were taken off a bus after visiting an orphanage.

Meanwhile, few details are available, but US officials said they were aware of the reports.

For the records, Haiti has one of the highest rates of kidnapping in the world, as powerful gangs exploit the lawless situation to make money from ransom payments.
