Hostages freed as hijackers surrender

TWO armed men who hijacked a bus in Greece and threatened to blow it up surrendered last night and released the six remaining hostages.

All left the bus from the driver’s door and heavily-armed police searched the commuter bus, which had been hijacked 18 hours earlier.

Earlier, the bus hijackers had set this morning as a deadline for Greek authorities to deliver a ransom of €1 million threatening to blow up the vehicle and six remaining hostages if they did not receive the money.
