ENNEPETAL (GERMANY):, A man armed with two knives pulled a group of schoolchildren off a public bus in a northwest German town on Tuesday and forced four of them into the cellar of a nearby house, police said. Police sharpshooters and other officers quickly surrounded the home, while officers established contact with the man by telephone, said police adding that the man had made no demands. The four hostages were girls, the oldest of whom is 16, and nobody has been injured, the police said. The mother of one of the children who escaped from the bus said the man told them he wanted to bring his family to Germany from Iran. The man took the four girls captive after commandeering the bus, which was filled with school children on their way home in the town of Ennepetal, said the state Interior Ministry. — AP
