Gunmen wept after train hijacking in the Netherlands
A South Moluccan siege aboard a northern Holland train ended after 12 days with 23 hostages freed. Ger Vaders recalled the hijackers as soldiers who planned with precision yet did not grasp the act of shooting. He said the gunmen wept after escalating fear and that a promised bus to the airport never arrived. The attackers demanded independence for the South Molucca islands from Indonesia and sought Dutch government support, which was rejected.
