Armed men kidnapped James Boyard, chief of staff to Haiti's defense minister, in Port-au-Prince on Thursday. His wife and six-year-old daughter were also taken, with a ransom requested. The surge in kidnappings reflects worsening gang violence, which has led to over 2,310 deaths and 99 kidnappings this year, according to the United Nations.
