The U.S. State Department advised Americans that day to avoid travel in Haiti and ordered nonemergency personnel to leave
Some members of the community said the unidentified men asked for $1 million in ransom, a standard practice of the gangs killing and sowing terror in Haiti’s impoverished populace. Hundreds of kidnappings have occurred in the country this year alone, figures from the local nonprofit Center for Analysis and Research in Human Rights show.
Earlier this month, Doctors Without Borders announced it was suspending services in one of its hospitals because some 20 armed men burst into an operating room and snatched a patient. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller wouldn’t say Monday if the abductors had made demands or answer other questions.
