COLOMBIA HOSTAGE SIEGE MAN SEIZED !

Colombian police have arrested a man who had taken several people hostage in an office in the capital, Bogota.
Police told the BBC they had disarmed the man and that the incident was over.
The man, identified as former army employee Edgar Paz Morales, had been threatening to set off a grenade because of delayed pension payments.
Speaking to a radio station during the stand-off, the man said he wanted top officials and the media to be brought to the scene.
He said the government had favoured demobilised paramilitaries involved in Colombia's long-running conflict, but had delayed military pensions.
