Haiti gang leader threatens to kill kidnapped missionaries in video - NBC News

State Department official said the video, which has been circulating on social media, appears to be legitimate.

Christian Aid Ministries, an Ohio-based nonprofit organization, said Thursday that it was aware of the Facebook video appearing to show members of the gang that kidnapped its staff members.

"We will not comment on the video until those directly involved in obtaining the release of the hostages have determined that comments will not jeopardize the safety and well-being of our staff and family members," Christian Aid Ministries said.

The families of the hostages asked in a statement for prayers for the hostages' safe return and said they were praying for the gang members.
