Two of 17 missionaries kidnapped in Haiti released

Two people among a group of 17 American and Canadian missionaries kidnapped by an armed gang in Haiti last month have been released.
 
Christian Aid Ministries on Sunday said the two individuals were safe, in good spirits, and being cared for.
 
The organisation gave no further details.
 
The abduction of the missionaries and their family members, including children, was reported on October 16.
 
They were returning from a visit to an orphanage when the bus they were travelling in was seized by gang members east of the capital, Port-au-Prince.
 
All of those abducted at the time - five men, seven women and five children - are US citizens, except one who is a Canadian national.
 
The gang reported to be behind the kidnappings, which goes by the name of  400 Mazowo, later demanded a ransom of US$1 million for each of the 17 people being held.
