After 61 days held captive in Haiti, 12 Christian Aid Ministries missionaries have been freed, according to a short statement Thursday from the Ohio-based mission organizer. Originally, 17 of its workers were abducted on Oct. 16 while on a trip to visit an orphanage supported by the organization. Since then, kidnappers released five people, and now with the remaining 12 released, all those abducted have been freed.
The full group includes six men and six women ranging in age from 18 to 48, and five children ages 8 months, 3 years, 6 years, 13 years, and 15 years.
