The circumstances of this release have not been disclosed, but the young Turks, aged 20 to 26, are apparently in good physical condition according to our information, after 37 days of confinement.

Let's recall that the two employees of the transport company Metro Tours, a Haitian hostess and the Dominican driver, had been released less than a week after the hijacking of the bus. The two other Haitian passengers were later released by the Gang, against payment of a ransom.
