The United Nations says armed men have killed at least 47 people and kidnapped over 50 others near Haiti's capital. This attack, which occurred Sunday in Kenscoff, is believed to be one of the largest mass kidnappings in Haiti in recent years. A gang leader has threatened to kill the hostages if authorities harm any gang members. The attack challenges the belief that security in Haiti is improving.
