Haiti judge to free some US missionaries

A Haitian judge said today some of the 10 US missionaries arrested on charges of child kidnapping would be released, nearly three weeks after they were caught trying to take a group of children out of the quake-stricken country.

Judge Bernard Saint-Vil would not specify how many people would be released, but said they would be allowed to return home without posting bail if they agreed to return to Haiti for any further questions in the pending investigation.
