PORT-AU-PRINCE - Haitian police arrested 10 U.S. citizens after they tried to take 33 Haitian children out of the earthquake-stricken nation, authorities said Saturday.

The five men and five women were in custody in Port-au-Prince after their arrests on Friday evening, Reuters reported. Their arrests followed fears that traffickers were trying to exploit the chaos and turmoil following Haiti's January 12 earthquake quake to engage in illegal adoptions.
