Jan. 31 (Bloomberg) — Haitian police yesterday arrested 10 American Baptist Church members as they tried to bus 33 orphaned children across the border into the Dominican Republic allegedly without proper documentation, a spokesman for the Central Valley Baptist Church said.

The church said the group was “falsely arrested” and that steps were being taken to clarify the “misunderstanding” involving their members, according to a statement on its Web site.
