Unknown terrorists took some 10 hostages, patients of a small hospital 200 kilometres to the north-west of Cambodian capital, on Sunday. There are children among the hostages.

A doctor was wounded in his leg during the seizure.

Four terrorists, armed with assault-rifles, demand money and transport from the authorities.

Policemen surrounded the building of the hospital.

The building was seized several hours before the opening of ASEAN summit in Phnom Penh, the first major international forum in Cambodia.

Hostages Released

Hostages, patients of a Cambodian hospital, have been released.

The hospital was seized by armed people yesterday. They didn't advance any political demands.

Due to the actions of the policemen, the incident is over. There are no victims.

The local authorities regard the hostage-taking as an attack for blackmailing purposes.
