Eight missionaries freed from Haitian jail arrive in Florida




(News Terupdate) - Eight of the 10 Americans once detained in Haiti landed late Wednesday at Miami International Airport, according to CNN affiliate WFOR.

Two of the Americans, Laura Silsby and Charisa Coulter, will remain in Haiti because the judge wants to determine why they traveled to Haiti on an earlier trip before the January 12 earthquake, attorney Avion Fleurent said.

All 10 Americans face charges of kidnapping and criminal association for trying to take 33 children out of Haiti after the nation's earthquake. The Americans have said they were trying to help the children get to a safe place after the magnitude-7.0 earthquake.

The eight Americans were freed on bail by a judge earlier on Wednesday.
