RUSSIA : Man Takes 4 Hostage...Demanding Only Pizza And A Soda.
In the southern Astrakhan region...an apparently hungry and very desperate man about 30 years-old...armed with a pistol and explosives...took 4 people hostage at a college... demanding only some pizza and a fizzy drink.
Police delivered the meal...and several hours later arrested him...after he released the unharmed hostages.
