Haiti has charged 10 U.S missionaries with child abduction and criminal conspiracy for allegedly trying to smuggle 33 children out of the country. Haitian officials said their cases would now be sent to an investigating judge who would decide how to proceed. If convicted, they face lengthy jail terms. When stopped on the border last Friday, they said they were taking the children to a Dominican Republic orphanage. But it has emerged some of the youngsters had parents who were alive. After the hearing the 10 missionaries were taken back to the jail where they have been kept since Friday.<br/><br/>The five men and five women, most of them from Idaho, were due to have a hearing earlier in the week, but that was postponed because of a lack of interpreters. Haiti's Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive has labelled the Americans kidnappers.<br/><br/>Justice Minister Paul Denis said they should be tried in Haiti despite the damage done to the country's judicial infrastructure and casualties among judges and court staff.
