Haiti's Prime Minister Max Bellerive has criticised 10 US missionaries who were arrested as they tried to take 33 Haitian children out of the earthquake-hit country.<br/><br/>Max Bellerive told newsmen that they knew what they were doing was wrong. He said some of the children had parents who were alive and that the government was trying to locate them. <br/><br/>He added that his country was open to having the Americans tried in the United States. He said a judicial system needed to determine whether the five men and five women from an Idaho-based Christian group were acting in good faith as they have claimed or were child traffickers.<br/><br/>A Haitian judge had been expected to decide yesterday whether the Americans had a case to answer but the matter was postponed for 24 hours because of a lack of interpreters for the Americans. The 10 have been held since Friday when they tried to enter the Dominican Republic with the children.<br/>
