A Dominican diplomat was kidnapped in Haiti and released after four days, the Dominican Republic's foreign minister said on Monday, in an abduction that coincides with a spike in gang violence in the Caribbean country.
Carlos Guillen, an attache for the Dominican embassy, went missing on Friday as he was driving from Port-au-Prince to the Dominican border town of Jimani, prompting the Dominican military to reinforce border surveillance.
"We thank everyone who actively participated in his release," wrote Dominican Foreign Minister Roberto Alvarez on Twitter, without elaborating.
