Haiti gang leader threatens to kill the 17 kidnapped missionaries

People protest for the release of kidnapped missionaries near the Ohio-based Christian Aid Ministries headquarters in Titanyen, north of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on Oct. 19, 2021. A group of 17 U.S. missionaries including children was kidnapped by a gang in Haiti on Oct. 16, according to a voice message sent to various religious missions by an organization with direct knowledge of the incident.

The gang leader that police say is holding the kidnapped missionaries said in a video that he will kill the group if his demands aren't met. Authorities have said he wants $1 million per person.
