TOUR BUS HIJACKED IN SHADOW OF KREMLIN.

On Saturday, on a river bridge in the center of Moscow near the Kremlin, a lone terrorist captured a Mercedes bus with 27 South Korean tourists and two Russians aboard, and held the passengers hostage for ransom in the bus. After several hours of negotiations, a sniper killed the terrorist and the Alfa commando unit seized the bus without further casualties. (see "In Perspective" item below).
