Poland: Man holds three Jewish teenagers hostage
A drunken man from Kuwait, claiming he had a bomb, briefly held three Jewish teenagers captive today in their room in a Polish hotel where they were staying for Holocaust commemoration ceremonies, police said.
The three 16-year-old Brazilians were pulled into a sixth-floor room of Warsaw’s Holiday Inn after 9am (8am Irish time) by a 23-year-old identified as Mohammad A, said national police spokesman Mariusz Sokolowski.
