A man who identified himself as the leader of a notorious Haitian gang threatened police on Thursday that he will kill 17 abducted missionaries—mostly Americans—if he doesn’t receive a $1 million ransom per hostage.
“I swear by thunder that if I don’t get what I’m asking for, I will put a bullet in the heads of these Americans,” said Wilson Joseph, the suspected leader of the gang dubbed “400 Mawozo,” according to a video that was shared on social media.
