Radian said that “In all there were over ten Israelis on the island, along with four Romanians and three Indians. In all 14 people were let go and six remained. Most of the Israelis were released."
 
The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed on Thursday evening that the majority of the Israelis held hostage by Chinese laborers on West Caicos, several more remain on the small isolated island.
 
The hostages are employees of the Ashtrom Engineering and Construction firm, which employed the 300 laborers for a large tourism project. The venture, however, was put on hold due to the global financial crisis.
 
The Caicos isles don’t have police or security forces.
 
The Romanian Foreign Affairs Ministry told MEDIAFAX Friday it is working to confirm the existence of four Romanians among the hostages.
