Hijackers Threaten To Kill Passengers
Brilen, The Netherlands. Gunmen hold a Groningen to Amsterdam train with about 36 hostages. They threaten to kill a hostage unless a bus is delivered to Schiphol airport by 10 a.m. Thursday. Mediated by a South Malukan pastor and son in law, the incident follows multiple escape attempts as police monitor the first coach where seven gunmen are believed to stay. The hijackers demand independence for the South Moluccan Islands from Indonesia, a cause they say justifies their actions.
