Bus hijacked in Athens

[method77]

26 people are held hostage by two foreign man, probably Albanian or Russian. The gunmen ask for a driver to drive the bus to the airport so they can flee to Russia.

The bus driver left the bus just when he realised what was happening.

Gunmen have no bombs like foreign news sources said.

Follow the story with Reuters

Man don't these guys realize that this type of shit never works? Has anyone successfully ever got their ransom demands AND got away?

Well at least they let a couple more go...

That's really odd. Some of the foreign sources quoted a woman on the bus that said they had dynamite.

Is this incorrect?

I thought I heard dynamite being mentioned this morning on CNN or someother news channel too.....

If it was just stated by the news source, I wouldn't be as confused.

However, these sources are quoting a woman who is/was on the bus calling from her cell phone......according to them at least.

It's all over. The hostages are all safe and everything is cool.

Only a person with a really low IQ would try such a thing 2 months after the Olympics. The police and army were ultra prepared for this kind of shit.

I'll take this opportunity to congratulate those people. Good job boys!

BTW

some sources say that they had bombs and some say no. We'll find out soon.

No bombs. They were Albanian

[Malicious Intent]

No bombs. They were Albanian

You make them sound like alternatives!

"at first I thought they where sticks of dynamite. it wasn't until one walked over and told me i could get off the bus that I realised it was an Albanian"

hehe

Glad everyone is safe. :D

[method77]

I mentioned that cause some thought they were Russians

[Redneck4sure]

I mentioned that cause some thought they were Russians

Now I get it. Russians always have bombs but Albanians never have any bombs.
