PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Doctors Without Borders says kidnappers have released two European aid workers snatched off the streets of Port-au-Prince and held for five days.
It is the first reported kidnapping since Haiti suffered a magnitude-7 earthquake with catastrophic damage on Jan. 12. More than 5,000 prisoners fled jails that collapsed or were damaged in the temblor. About 200 have been captured.

Hundreds of U.N. staff joined relatives of those who died at the ceremony, listening as Ban pledged: “We will never forget you. We will carry on your work.”
