Port-au-Prince, Haiti — Desperate efforts continued on Tuesday to save a group of missionaries, most of them Americans, being held for ransom by a criminal gang in Haiti. FBI agents were working with local authorities in the tiny Caribbean nation to find the 16 U.S. nationals and one Canadian who were kidnapped on Saturday.
The gang was asking for $1 million for each hostage — $17 million total — to release the missionaries, a high-ranking government source confirmed to CBS News. The dollar amount was first reported by The Wall Street Journal....
,,,Gagliano said that if it became clear the gang was killing or threatening to kill hostages, the U.S. law enforcement agency would likely have a strike team on hand to attempt a rescue operation....

Waiting to see Biden abandon them like he did folks in Afghanistan. Plus, just as in Afghanistan, why are US citizens here in the country?!
I could see the SEALS going in for the rescue.... if PedoJoe wasn’t “in charge”.
Oh well.
They will get the vaxxed special forces to go in.
Whatever.
We live in Libtard World now.
A “strike team” of FBI agents? Now that would be something to see.
Jack Bauer could fix this in less than 24.
“Plus, just as in Afghanistan, why are US citizens here in the country?”
Do-gooders not minding their own business.
So your definition of a missionary is.....do gooder.
Could you not pray for them.
IMO, every American that leaves the USA for whatever purpose; good, bad or indifferent, should be thoroughly indoctrinated in hostage situations before leaving, and should sign a waver stating they should not expect to be ransomed back to safety.
This is 2021, folks ... what in HELL is going through peoples brains when they step onto potentially hostile soil?
IF you live and conduct your life in faith on God, you don't ask "the state" to do what you SAY God will do.
IMO, we should call their bluff and challenge them with American military might.
Kidnapping as a part of the “new” economy?
How many new jobs will this create?
So how much will the haitain immigrants demand for release of domestic hostages
“what in HELL is going through peoples brains when they step onto potentially hostile soil?”
Almost half of them are from Michigan. It’s probably their first time being away from college.
We should put the $17 million on a pallet in the middle of one of their soccer stadiums and ring the upper rows with marine snipers. “It’s all there homies... come and get it.”
thumbs up.
Yea, just a bunch of do-gooders....../s
Pay the Ransom and expect to see weekly kidnappings. Go kill the gang and it will stop.
I think it would be an easy task for a Seal group.......
Once again, President Trump was right, but the left wont admit it. Haiti is a shthole country that we should not be taking refugees from.
Those Haitian thugs will get their 17 million and then be allowed to “immigrate” to the USA. It’s what Puppet Biden and his masters do.
Haitians practicing their long established heritage. I wouldn’t be surprised if they killed all of the hostages, especially if they are white.
Precisely, f em.
