A gang which kidnapped a group of missionaries from the US and Canada in Haiti on Saturday is demanding $1m (£725,000) in ransom for each of the 17 people it is holding, the Haitian justice minister has told the Wall Street Journal.
The gang is notorious for kidnapping groups of people for ransom.
The same gang, 400 Mazowo, abducted a group of Catholic clergy in April.
The clergy were later released but it is not clear if a ransom was paid.
