    Ten US missionaries have been charged with child abduction and criminal conspiracy for trying to smuggle children out of quake-ravaged Haiti.

    The five men and five women, most of them from Idaho, were due to have a hearing earlier in the week
    When stopped on the border last Friday, they said they were taking the children to a Dominican Republic orphanage.

    Haiti's Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive has labelled the Americans "kidnappers".
