LEON HARRIS, CNN ANCHOR: But we begin with developments, while you were asleep, in a day care hostage standoff, an armed man has now been holding children and teachers for some 22 hours at a day care facility in a small town in Luxembourg. CNN's Patricia Kelly is covering the crisis. She joins us now with the very latest. And Patricia, I understand, as of five minutes ago, there were new developments?</s>PATRICIA KELLY, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Yes, within the last few moments, Leon, another small child has been released by the hostage taker. He was delivered to the crisis center, which is here in the background behind me, where he would be reunited with his parents, who have been sitting out the night in the crisis center, waiting for news of their children for the last 22 hours. That makes a total of three children released during the last few hours, one of them a young girl, the youngest hostage, age 2 years old. Eight children were released several hours after this crisis started Wednesday. That leaves remaining inside the day care center 26 children and three adults. The children are all aged under 7 years old. Now the -- we had some video, earlier on, that came in, and this is as close as the cameraman could get to the day care center, but you see clearly through the window the hostage taker in the window, he holds up a hang grenade, and he holds up a handgun. He's also armed, police say, with a knife. Now there is a lot of anticipation here. The police are -- say that they are optimistic that this crisis will be resolved peacefully. They are in contact with the hostage-taker. They say, he has assured them he loves children, he means no harm to them, and wants them and their teachers to be able to leave in safety. But he wishes to bring attention to the way he believes authorities have treated him in the past. The police say, he feels that there has been a lot of injustice against him from the Luxembourg authorities and he wants to draw attention to this -- Leon.</s>HARRIS: All right, Patricia Kelly, reporting live this morning from Luxembourg, following that story. We'll get back with her later on.
