Hijacker takes 10 Australians hostage
Police shot and killed a man armed with explosives Wednesday after he hijacked a bus in northwest China and took 10 Australians hostage. CNN quotes Australian media saying that the man released all but two of the hostages shortly after taking them captive, but held on to a woman and the group’s translator. “The Australian government is pleased that the hostages are now safe and the embassy in Beijing and Consulate General in Shanghai are providing consular assistance to the Australians affected,” Janaline Oh, a spokeswoman for the Australian Embassy in Beijing told the AP.
