Sveitsin poliisi tappoi junassa panttivankeja ottaneen miehen
Sveitsin poliisi tappoi torstai-iltana kirveellä ja veitsellä aseistautuneen iranilaisen turvapaikanhakijan, joka oli ottanut 15 ihmistä panttivangiksi Baulmesin ja Yverdon-les-Bainsin välisessä junassa.
Poliisin mukaan 32-vuotias mies oli pitänyt ihmisiä panttivankinaan lähes neljän tunnin ajan.
Poliisi teki rynnäkön junaan ja surmasi miehen. Kaikki panttivangit vapautettiin vahingoittumattomina, Sveitsin poliisi kertoi tiedotteessaan perjantaina.
Viranomaiset eivät paljastaneet tietoja hyökkääjän mahdollisista motiiveista.

The hostage-taker's identity, he added, was still not officially confirmed, and checks were being carried out.
The man was shot dead by a police officer after allegedly rushing at him with the axe.
A total of 15 hostages were taken – 14 passengers and the conductor – with the ordeal dragging on for nearly four hours, from around 6:35 pm to 10:30 pm local time. The suspect had forced the conductor of the train – which was stopped near Yverdon – to join the passengers, who alerted police to the situation.
Negotiations with the suspect took place in part via WhatsApp and with the help of a translator speaking Farsi. Authorities ultimately decided to storm the train and maneuvered to keep the man away from the hostages, according to Sauterel.
