Kidnappers demand higher ransom for American couple held hostage in Haiti.

An American couple visiting Haiti were abducted on a bus and held for ransom. The kidnappers initially demanded $6,000, but after the family paid, they increased the ransom to $200,000 each. The US State Department is aware of the situation and is working with local authorities to search for the missing couple. Haiti has been struggling with a spike in gang-related kidnappings, with gangs demanding ransoms ranging from a couple of hundred dollars to more than $1 million.
