Two U.S. citizens have been kidnapped in Haiti, State Department deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel confirmed on Thursday, adding Washington is in regular contact with Haitian authorities and will continue to work with them.
Patel declined to provide further details.
CNN reported last week that a Florida couple, Abigail and Jean-Dickens Toussaint, had been kidnapped in Haiti and were being held captive under ransom demands.
