WASHINGTON, D.C. (BNO NEWS) — At least fifteen Americans have been killed in Tuesday’s devastating earthquake that destroyed much of Haiti’s capital, the U.S. government said on Saturday.
As of noon on Saturday, 14 private American citizens were confirmed dead following the earthquake, the U.S. State Department said. A U.S. government worker has also been killed.
