Polish police: Kuwaiti envoy's son held 3 Jewish teens captive
By The Associated Press
Tags: Poland, Kuwait, Jews, Police

Polish police on Tuesday said a man who claimed he had a bomb and briefly held three Jewish teenagers captive in a Warsaw hotel on Monday is the son of the Kuwaiti ambassador to Poland.

National police spokesman Mariusz Sokolowski says the 23-year-old Kuwaiti suspect identified as Mohammad A. is the son of the Kuwaiti ambassador.

Sokolowski said the man was too drunk to undergo questioning Monday.

The three Brazilians - originally identified as Israelis - were pulled into a sixth-floor room of Warsaw's Holiday Inn after 9 A.M. by the 23-year-old suspect, he said.

Police broke into the room just before 10 A.M. and took the suspect into custody without incident, Sokolowski said. None of the captives was harmed, and police found no explosives.

The Kuwaiti Embassy could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
