Irish missionary, orphanage staff and 3-year-old are freed after Haiti kidnapping


(Reuters) -An Irish missionary, a group of orphanage workers and a three-year-old boy have been released after being kidnapped on the outskirts of Haiti's capital nearly a month ago, the orphanage said on Friday.

The kidnapping prompted worldwide appeals for the captives' safe release after a gang raided the orphanage in Kenscoff, a neighborhood overlooking Port-au-Prince that has been the site of many gang attacks this year.
