JUDY WOODRUFF, CNN ANCHOR: In Luxembourg, a heavily armed man is holding 29 young children and three teachers hostage. CNN's Patricia Kelly is there and she joins us on the telephone with the latest -- Patricia.</s>PATRICIA KELLY, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Judy, I have just spoken to one of the police officers controlling this operation and he says that the police are talking to the hostage taker. He says that the man is armed with a hand grenade, a handgun, and a knife. Earlier today, eight children were released and they were able to identify those weapons from pictures shown to them by police negotiators here. Apparently, the hostage taker is asking for a car, he's asking for an airplane, but he is not -- we're not being told what he -- where he wants to go or what his destination might be. Police say the building is designed to take about 50 children, and there are about three or four classrooms, and there is no way that this one person can control the whole of the building, which gives you some idea of perhaps of the state of what is happening here. The building is surrounded. Police are talking to him. We're told that he has a history of psychological problems and his own psychiatrist is on the -- at the scene also helping police negotiate with him -- Judy.</s>WOODRUFF: All right, CNN's Patricia Kelly reporting from Luxembourg, and we will keep a close watch on this story and bring you any developments as they occur.
