There was a hijacking of a German bus on Autobahn 9, between Hilpoltstein and Greding (deep into the heart of Bavaria....between Munich and Nuremberg).
Guy involved? Serb, around 30 years old.
Most of this story comes from a early AM edition of Focus.
What the cops say is that the guy got aggravated in some way....on his way to Serbia, then threatened everyone on the bus with what suggested to them was a gun (evidence so far, there never was a gun).
So it became a hostage situation, which went on for several hours....SEK guys (federal SWAT type police) were brought onto the scene, and eventually all the hostages (passengers) were allowed off, with just the Serb and two drivers left there.
The event ended shortly after that.....no one dead or wounded, just scared. SEK guys retook the bus.
My take? Either the guy is paranoid schizophrenic, or he was on some type of drug excursion. No one says where the guy originally started the trip. And no, he's not some Muslim radical type. As for potential charges? Man, I could see forty-odd charges, but I'll predict a mental evaluation right off the bat.
Update: Mental eval for the Serb guy. With two folks injured in this episode.....would be some charges coming out of this unless he's declared 'unfit'.
