Teenager holds sister hostage with 20 pupils

None of the students was hurt in the three-and-a-half-hour ordeal at the Casal de l’Angel school in the industrial town of Hospitalet de Llobregat, just south of Barcelona.

Interior Minister Angel Acebes confirmed the arrest and said the hostage-taker was a young, former pupil of the school. The Education Ministry said he was 16 or 17.
