Two hijackers holding a Greek bus with about two dozen passengers aboard on Wednesday released five hostages, three women and two men. One woman looked visibly distressed as she walked away from the bus. She was the fourth hostage to be released. Earlier a woman and two men were released. All five were released nearly six hours after the bus was hijacked at 5:50 a.m. (0350GMT) by two armed men who entered the bus and fired shots into the roof of the vehicle. The released hostages were taken to a police command center near the bus, which police said had 26 passengers aboard when it was hijacked. The orange-and-blue colored bus was surrounded by police and ambulances at a stop about 17 kilometers (10.5 miles) from the city center on the outskirts of eastern Athens.
