Two of 17 North American missionaries who were abducted by a Haitian gang in mid-October have been freed, AFP reported on Sunday.
The missionaries and family members -- a group of 16 Americans and one Canadian -- were abducted on October 16 while returning from an orphanage in an area east of the capital Port-au-Prince. Christian Aid Ministries has said the hostages are 12 adults aged 18 to 48, and five children ranging in age from eight months to 15 years.
