Haiti Gang Demands $17M Ransom for Missionaries

(Port-au-Prince) -- A ransom demand is being made for American missionaries kidnapped in Haiti.  

A notorious gang wants 17-million dollars after snatching 17 people, the youngest just eight-months-old. The group is with a ministry based in Ohio and was taken on Saturday while driving back from an orphanage.  

The 12 adults and five children are reportedly being held in a safe house but officials says negotiations could take weeks.
