Negotiations with hostage-taker continue
In the case of the hostage-taking at Hamburg Airport, the police are continuing to talk to the hostage-taker. "Negotiations are continuing," police spokeswoman Sandra Levgrün told the German Press Agency at 6.15 a.m. on Sunday. The airport is still cordoned off on a large scale. An armed man is holding his four-year-old daughter at the airport. According to the police, the background to the attack is a custody dispute.
Even as the air traffic in and out of Hamburg Airport remains halted, concerns about potential air traffic disruptions due to the hostage situation are rising. Meanwhile, reports of increased crime rates in the area surrounding the airport have been making headlines.
