> The United Nations says at least 47 people were killed and more than 50 kidnapped when armed men attacked Kenscoff, a once-peaceful community near Haiti’s capital, earlier this week. The assault is believed to be one of Haiti’s largest mass kidnappings in recent years, while a gang leader has threatened to kill hostages if authorities kill gang members during efforts to retake the area.
