Tourist centre in shock after hostage drama

MASKED gunmen seized dozens of children at an international school in north-western Cambodia yesterday, killing a Canadian toddler.

The child was shot in the head before police rescued the remaining hostages after a six-hour stand-off.

The crisis unfolded at Cambodia’s tourism hub of Siem Reap, near its famed Angkor Wat temples and home to many expatriates, and quickly drew concern from governments around the region.
