Philippine commandos shoot dead Manila hostage taker | | The nearly day long hostage crisis in Manila ended on Monday evening with the Philippine commandos
shooting dead the hostage taker. The police personnel stormed a bus on which a
sacked former police officer was holding 15 Hong Kong tourists and killed the
hostage taker in a gun battle. "At least seven hostages have been rescued from
the besieged bus," Televison channels quoted police officials as saying. It has
been reported that a dismissed policeman armed with an automatic rifle seized
a bus in the Philippine capital on Monday morning. He had earlier released nine
of the hostages and demanded his job back to free the rest. |
