Agonizing Wait For Families Of Kidnapped Missionaries In Haiti

Efforts to free the hostages are severely complicated by political instability, with huge parts of the capital under the control of street gangs.

It's an agonizing wait for the families and friends of the 17 hostages held since Saturday by the 400 Mawozo street gang somewhere in Haiti. 

This French priest was kidnapped by the very same gang back in April. 

"At the beginning, they were giving us food once a day, but by the end they stopped feeding us. They forced us to go hungry, believing it was a negotiation tactic," said Father Michel Briand.
