Six nuns and two other people kidnapped in Haiti have been released, archbishop says

The archbishop of Port-au-Prince says six nuns kidnapped in Haiti last week along with two other people have been released. Archbishop Max Leroy Mésidor told The Associated Press on Thursday that the group was released late Wednesday and that everyone is in good condition. He declined to say whether a ransom was paid or to provide other details, including who was responsible. This latest high-profile kidnapping prompted religious leaders to issue a scathing letter criticizing the government for its inaction. The nuns from the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Anne and two other unidentified people were abducted last Friday while traveling aboard a bus in Port-au-Prince.
