Investigators in Haiti have so far failed to trace 17 American and Canadian missionaries and their children kidnapped 10 days ago.
The leader of the 400 Mawozo gang has threatened to kill them if his ransom of $17m is not met.
As kidnappings become increasingly common in Haiti religious institutions once considered off-limits by criminal gangs have now become lucrative targets.
